Happy publication day @kirstenkshockey Your latest

Happy publication day @kirstenkshockey Your latest book is gem! I absolutely love it😍
.
Homebrewed Vinegar: How to Ferment 60 Delicious Varieties is not only beautiful but also practical. When we first cut our waste, we wondered what we would do for vinegar—an essential ingredient. Vinegars not only brighten and balance dishes, they can also be enjoyed in drinks (think shrubs), as medicine (think fire cider) and more—and recipes for all of those and many others (60 in total) are in this vinegar bible.
.
I am so excited about starting some new projects from the book. First, I’ll start a wild yeast starter to then make some vinegars. You can skip this step and use wine yeast and some recipes, such as “Universal Wild Whole-Fruit Vinegar,” call for fruit and sugar only (the sugar feeds the microbes that make the magic happen).
.
If you want to reduce food waste, make vinegar that tastes better than what you can buy in the store and know what’s in it. Do you juice? Make vinegars with the pulp. Have leftover beer? Soon, you’ll have vinegar. Corn cobs? Yes, you can make vinegar with those too. The book includes not only amazing recipes and fabulous photography but also delves into the science of and history behind vinegar. For instance, did you know that Cleopatra apparently dissolved a pearl in vinegar and proceeded to drink it in order to win a bet with her lover, Antony? Me neither!
.
One of you has a chance to turn your kitchen into a laboratory (or expand your laboratory if you already ferment all the things). I’m doing a giveaway of one copy of this wonderful book. To enter, please follow @kirstenkshockey and me and tag two people who you think would love a copy of Homebrewed Vinegar. Contest closes on Saturday, May 15th at 8:59pm PT/11:59pm ET. Open to US residents only. I’ll randomly pick one winner and notify them by DM.

Now I’m off to enjoy some fresh fruit, after which I will freeze the peels to use later in a batch of scrap vinegar.

“You are impossible to buy for!” I often hear

“You are impossible to buy for!” I often hear this as any major holiday approaches for which people feel obligated to buy me stuff. But my kids always give me the most thoughtful gifts. The best present was all of us being together yesterday (MK now lives a few hours north of us).
.
The loot: a bouquet of locally grown flowers from the farmers’ market. These came in a mason jar—no plastic and no vase I don’t want. MK bought the @happihippoplantorganics vegan, plastic-free floss from a zero-waste shop up in Redding and Charlotte found the lame (for scoring sourdough) on Etsy from @woodworking_chef_omalley. I need to bake sourdough bread ASAP to test this baby out. By the way, this is not an ad. I just know a bunch of people are going to be 🤯🤯🤯 when they see the floss and lame and want to know where they can find them.
.
Expect to see the lame in action on here soon (the floss, not so much…).

The Julie to my Julia is giving away my book to two people! You can enter here, or @labelle_eco_life.
.
To enter, please follow @labelle_eco_life and me and tag two people who you think would love a copy of my book, The Zero-Waste Chef. Contest closes on Sunday, May 9th at 8:59pm PT/11:59pm ET. @labelle_eco_life will send a book anywhere in the world, so this is open to everyone! (Thank you, Monique 🙏)
.
After the giveaway, on Tuesday, May 11th at 11am PT/2pm ET, Monique and I will chat on IG Live. Monique has been cooking one recipe a day from my book—Julie and Julia style—but has Mother’s Day off on Sunday, when her husband Dave will cook a recipe from the book for dinner. @labelle_eco_life says she has lots of questions she wants to ask me about the book, sourdough, fermentation and more.
.
Good luck everyone. And I hope to see some of you on Tuesday 😊

And now a Mother’s Day giveaway! 🌷 The winner

And now a Mother’s Day giveaway!
🌷
The winner will receive two copies of my book, one to keep and one to share with their mother, a mother-like figure in their life or anyone else they think would appreciate a copy.
🌼
If you’re starting out on the path to a more sustainable kitchen and home, you may find the journey easier—and more fun!—if you undertake that journey with someone. You can motivate each other, exchange information and share dilemmas and wins.
🌸
In my book, I mention the first shopping trip my older daughter MK and I took after we decided we would cut plastic 10 years ago. I found that initial shopping foray incredibly frustrating! But slowly we figured out how to change our routine around (okay, mostly MK figured it out…) and started shopping and eating differently. I can tell you from experience, the trip down the rabbit hole is fun with a traveling companion!
🌺
To enter, please make sure you’re following me @zerowastechef. Tag 3 friends in the comments and please tell us your favorite dish growing up.
🌻
Because Mother’s Day is next weekend, this giveaway will end soon—Sunday, May 2nd, 11:59pm PT, so I can make sure the books arrive as close to Mother’s Day as possible. I’ll randomly pick a winner and DM them. No purchase necessary. Open to US and Canadian residents. Giveaway is in no way administered, sponsored or endorsed by Instagram.
💐
UPDATE: And the winner is ...🥁... @pushupitti. Thank you to everyone who entered.

Happy #StopFoodWasteDay! . The best way to reduce
