"Cooking scrappy is about expanding your mind, the way you cook, and the way you live. A stockpot can be a mixing bowl, but so can the produce drawer from your fridge. Being scrappy is using every resource you have to get from point A to point B. Think outside the recipe box, and be open to using your kitchen, your cooking equipment, plus the stuff that you never thought to cook on and all your ingredients to their absolute max...the following pages are filled with a bazillion ways to get scrappier, better your environmental impact, save money, and eat some life-altering food while you're at it...The food world is definitely getting scrappier. All you have to do is open your mind and join in." -- From the introduction.
