Notes about Recipes in this book

• Dried apple peel chips

  • apattin on March 02, 2020

    Very nice healthy snack. I'll add more ginger and nutmeg next time

• Fudgy aquafaba brownies

  • patioweather on February 02, 2023

    The recipe says that the batter will be thick, and it was so thick that despite the warning I was worried I did something wrong. I had trouble getting it to spread evenly in the pan. Ultimately, it didn't matter because it leveled out when baking. Tastes great!

• Beet peel margarita

  • SheilaS on January 21, 2021

    I liked this a lot. It's very pretty and beet flavor comes through in a subtle but pleasant way. I used a chile/lime salt (Tajín) to rim the glasses.

• Any-season strata

  • radishseed on November 09, 2023

    I like the easygoing nature of this recipe, but note that the instructions say to put the dish into a hot oven straight from the fridge. I didn't think that was safe for the dish I was using, so I put it in a cold oven and heated it from there. It took much longer to cook this way, maybe an hour or more.

• Cheese tortellini with sausage and broccoli stems

  • minbody on December 09, 2021

    This is really delicious (of course--it's got cream and Parmesan!), and it's very forgiving of extra veggies. I routinely add a couple of bell peppers (green and red, usually) and do more broccoli stems, which I like just as much if not more than the florets.

• Carrot top pesto

  • patioweather on April 12, 2020

    I was honestly very skeptical of this because it's the only recipe I found that didn't cut it with another herb like parsley. My partner and I both really like it though and will make it again anytime we have carrot tops. Can't go wrong with the combo of garlic and good olive oil.

• Avocado pasta with a crunchy cilantro stem sprinkle

  • amgenove on February 26, 2021

    I wasn't sure what to expect, but I loved how this recipe turned out! I used panko breadcrumbs. Worked well with bucatini, but you can probably use any pasta.

• Leek top cacio e pepe

  • mjes on August 14, 2021

    Traditional cacio e pepe with greens added - in this case leek tops. It works.

• Pineapple peel and core lemonade with mint

  • patioweather on October 27, 2020

    I did this without the lemons to make a pineapple simple syrup. It is amazing.

• Radish top ohitashi

  • mjes on August 14, 2021

    A typical Japanese treatment of greens - radish tops are not my favorite but this recipe makes them quite appealing.

  • GinaRhodes on June 30, 2025

    The most tolerable recipe for radish greens I've found so far. Not mind blowing but better than anything else I've found.
