  practical, punchy package. Sherri’s recipes and worldview—not to mention her
  fridgeview—will have you converting would-be wasted food into new dishes in no
  time. And through that thrifty shift, _Eat It Up!_ will pay for itself in mere
  weeks!

  “Amidst increasing recognition of the dramatic scope and adverse impacts of
  food waste, _Eat It Up!_ offers readers some of the most effective—and
  delicious—ways to effect change. By providing tips and techniques for buying,
  storing, and preparing foods, along with a plethora of root-to-frond, nose-to-
  tail, and leftover-to-delicacy recipes, the book empowers home cooks to
  prepare tasty meals while protecting the environment, saving money, and
  conserving the invaluable resource of food.”
