THE PEELINGS

144 pages

This book, which "peels" our everyday foods; from the peels to the cores, including the pits, ribs, stems, pods, tops and other resource-rich leftovers, aims to bring together the best anti-waste tips in a palette of DIY projects and portraits...

Do you throw away avocado pits? Artichoke leaves and stems, citrus peels... But do you suspect the treasures these wastes contain?

Did you know, for example, that onion peels can be used as an extra flour or a dye for your hair, that leeks grow back endlessly and without any particular effort, that cucumber skin removes makeup... and let's move on from the green and unripe ones!

If their image has long been tarnished, there is no longer any question of throwing them away: strawberry stems and tops of all kinds, no more slipping on banana skins, polish your shoes with them!

In a resolutely positive style, Marie Cochard delivers an ABC of recipes and incongruous tips supported by incredible testimonies from joyful recyclers. She shows us that many peels can be recycled, allowing us to save money, reduce our waste, improve our health - but also have a lot of fun! Peel this guide and grab the peeler!
