Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller

Save money, reduce food waste, and eat healthier than you ever have before with this highly anticipated cookbook from New York Times bestselling author and social media sensation, Carleigh Bodrug.

Spinning off of Bodrug's wildly popular Scrappy Cooking social media series, the cookbook is packed with over 150 whole-food, plant-based recipes that show the reader how to make the most of the food they have in their fridge and pantry with easy and approachable vegan recipes anyone can make.

Transform radish tops into pesto, broccoli stems into summer rolls, and wilting greens into smoothie cubes... But that's not all. The book will equip readers with not only the tools to make the most of their scraps, but also to use up just about any vegetable, grain, or bean from their fridge and pantry in the flexible Kitchen Raid Recipes. You can also cross-reference commonly wasted foods like stale bread in a "Got This, Make That" index so these items can be used up in the easiest and most delicious way possible.

Scrappy Cooking not only puts the focus on eating a diet that's more conscious for our environment (and our wallets) but also our health. Every recipe in the book is vegan, almost entirely oil-free, and focuses on whole, plant-based foods that are good for our bodies and the planet. Get ready for recipes like The Whole Darn Squash (Pasta), Skillet Lasagna, One Pan Orzo Casserole, Vodka Penne With Broccolini, Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, Chickpea Pot Pie, Orange Peel Chickn', Loaded Tortilla Bowls, Sheet Pan Tacos with Carrot Top Chimichurri, Rebel "Ribs", Veggie Masala Burgers, Palak "Paneer", Vegan Meaty Hand Pies, We-Got-the-Beet Chips, Pickle-Mania Chips, Cornmeal Biscuits, Bang Bang Broccoli-cious Steaks...and more!
