Don't Waste Food

with Esther Kern

Leftovers are sometimes worth their weight in gold—and so are scraps. In this course, Esther Kern shows you how to turn them into delicious treats: Stale bread is transformed into gnocchi and cookies, shriveled fruit comes back to life in an aromatic chutney, and citrus peels become a miracle seasoning. You’ll also learn plenty of practical tips and tricks for the kitchen—including how to make lightly fermented drinks from leftovers.

Esther Kern is a bestselling author and food journalist. She became known for her “Leaf to Root” initiative, the “nose-to-tail” approach to vegetables. In 2026, her book *Taste Not Waste* was published—a definitive guide to food preservation and the enjoyable use of leftovers.
