Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Sweet and salty nut mix

    • Camellia_Sin on July 31, 2023

      Excellent for a cheese board or with apps

  • Green goddess salad

    • DKennedy on December 16, 2022

      1st recipe that I have made from this book. I like the fact that it is acid free. Very tasty. Next time I might sub creme fraiche for the yogurt. Omitted basil and added dill and cilantro.

  • Charred corn and burrata

    • DKennedy on March 05, 2023

      Supper club appetizer. Excellent.

  • Corn soup with garlic chips

    • DKennedy on March 05, 2023

      Supper club first course. I did not love this soup. A little on the sweet side.

  • Crispy rice salad

    • DKennedy on March 05, 2023

      Supper club side dish. We served this alongside the larb. Excellent accompaniment for an asian themed menu. The crispy rice technique, though easier than the one suggested in Sqirl, was still challenging. Crisping the rice in a non stick ended up being the best option.

  • Hanger steak with walnut romesco

    • Camellia_Sin on July 31, 2023

      The Romesco is awesome on any meat an as an app on toasted French bread with broiled fresh mozzarella

  • Mustardy pork tenderloin with grapes and red onions

    • Tinala523 on April 14, 2025

      This was delicious and so elegant in appearance! I prepped and hubby finished it, so it is easy to put together. Would recommend as an easy company dinner.

  • Pork shoulder larb

    • DKennedy on March 05, 2023

      The main course for our March Supper club menu. Amy braised the meat and so the rest of us came to the recipe at the stage of making the dressing and prepping the lettuce/cabbage cups. I thought this was delicious served at room temperature. Recipe calls for braising and pulling the meat so lots of technique to be learned with this dish. Def would make again.

  • Butter-basted lamb chops

    • DKennedy on January 03, 2023

      Easy to prepare using ingredients already on hand and delicious results. Next time I would season the lamb chops with s and p, massage in the garlic and herbs and olive oil into the chops and then put the mustard on over the seasoning to form a paste.

  • Clams with chorizo and fennel

    • Running_with_Wools on August 24, 2025

      Nice balanced savory and bright flavors with the chorizo and fennel.

  • Salted maple vanilla bean pot de crème

    • DKennedy on March 05, 2023

      Supper club dessert. Susan was in charge of this dish. Perfect results.

  • Corn stock

    • DKennedy on March 05, 2023

      We made this as a component recipe for our Supper Club.

Publishers Text

Cutting back on food waste continues to be one of the most effective ways we can combat climate change. But when recipes only call for a small portion of an ingredient, what do we do with the remainder? Alexis deBoschnek has the answer.

Growing up, Alexis spent hours tending to her mother’s garden in the Catskill Mountains, coming back to the kitchen with apples, zucchinis, peas, and every herb under the sun. From slowly cooking tomatoes for sauce, drying fresh herbs, or infusing oil with the garden’s aromatics, to pickling cucumbers by the dozen, Alexis learned how to make every ingredient last.

With To the Last Bite, she shares her lifetime of knowledge to ensure nothing goes to waste. Buy a whole chicken for Alexis’s juicy, delicious Spatchcock Paprika Chicken with Carrots and save the bones for a stock, which you can add to braised leeks with white wine and thyme. Her Greens Skillet Pie uses any herbs you haven’t gotten around to in the crisper drawer. All the recipes in this book are designed to use the entire ingredient to save you money and cut back on food waste.

Packed with stories and strategies to help you choose your ingredients wisely and use them well, this cookbook teaches you how to cook creatively, resourcefully, and, most importantly, deliciously.
