Cornersmith - Use It All

For years Alex Elliott-Howery and Jaimee Edwards, from boundary-breaking food community Cornersmith, experimented in their home kitchens to figure out how to feed their families efficiently, affordably and sustainably. The result is Use It All: the Cornersmith Guide to a More Sustainable Kitchen, an invaluable guide to modern food wisdom.

Use It All is a kitchen skills handbook to buy less, waste less, save money and make more with what you've got by the original waste warriors. Buy less, buy whole, use it all. This practical handbook is an invitation to reduce food waste while eating generously. It's a book for people juggling real life and trying to make better choices in their kitchens. 

Alex and Jaimee will appear in conversation with Alice Zaslavsky. 

This FREE event takes place on Zoom. The Zoom meeting details form part of your ticket, emailed to you after registration.
