USE THE ENTIRE BREAD – even the last crumb • This year, we’re going to publish an article series on how to avoid food waste. Throwing away so much food is bad for both the wallet and the environment, and that’s why, in each 2023 edition of the magazine, we’ll offer you some tips and good ideas on how to use the leftovers that would otherwise just be thrown away, and how to utilize seasonal ingredients to make them last longer. We found many of these recipes in the back of our cupboards and they are from the time when our mothers and grandmothers were young. Back then, the people made sure to use absolutely everything and they rarely threw anything away.
