UN World Food Day is on 16 October and this month we’re joining more than 30 countries across Cookpad to get cooking together!

What better way to celebrate our food and all the effort and energy it takes to grow, produce and transport it to our kitchens than by cooking every part of our delicious ingredients and saving them from going to waste.

Let’s take another look at all the incredible flavour and nutrition in those squeezed lemons, herb stalks, fruit peelings and vegetable scraps that we think we have no use for. Check out the recipes below for no waste veg and herb stock and a recipe to use up sprout tops!

We want you to rescue those precious ingredients and create recipes that are delicious and save us money and time too. Bonus!

Will you become a #CookEveryPart hero for #WorldFoodDay 2021?

Over the next 3 weeks, Cookpad is challenging you to cook more creatively in your own home kitchens, coaxing life and flavour out of often discarded or forgotten produce.
