I raise a reusable stainless-steel canister to Teralyn Pilgrim for writing this important book, which is filled with revelatory facts (e.g. the world wastes TK stadiums of food each year) and helpful tips on how to reduce your own food waste."
—A.J. Jacobs, bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically
“No Scrap Left Behind is filled with everything you need to start reducing food waste in your home. Filled with practical tips and very human stories of one family's messy, often frustrating, and sometimes delicious journey to save money and heal the planet, this book belongs next to your favorite cookbooks.”

"Teralyn Pilgrim is the funny, no-nonsense, heart-of-gold friend you want alongside you in the kitchen. When it comes to reducing food waste at home, she calls out advice that’s fussy or just doesn’t work and keeps things real with hard-earned insights and ideas. As I read her stories of low-waste-living trial and error, I found myself alternately laughing out loud, nodding heartily, and feeling the emotional highs and lows of her journey. Sometimes hilarious and sometimes so poignant it hurts, this book will help you make practical shifts to both make the world a better place and save you money and time.”
—Rachael Jackson, journalist and founder of EatOrToss.com
"In a fun, often funny, and always accessible style, Teralyn Pilgrim makes the serious and compelling case that what we do every day in our kitchens sends ripples around the world. Americans waste 40% of the food we grow and produce, much of it in landfills. Consumer waste hurts people, the environment, and the global economy. Her response to this crisis is smart and inspiring."
—Eric B. Schultz, former CEO of Sensitech and co-author, Food Foolish: The Hidden Connection Between Food Waste, Hunger, and Climate Change
"Teralyn dives into the largest source of food waste in America: our home kitchens. And unlike many pressing issues of our time, she shows that individuals have the power to make an immediate difference that will lower climate emissions and help feed more people.”
—John Mandyck, co-author of Food Foolish: The Hidden Connection Between Food Waste, Hunger and Climate Change
“Cooking at its best is an act of conscious love, for the people we feed but also the source of our ingredients, the earth, the sea. Like Teralyn, we're at our best as cooks when we're present, engaged and respectful of every morsel life gives us."
—Michael Smith, chef and author of Real Food Real Good
“When you stop wasting food, you save time, save your money, and help the planet. Teralyn Pilgrim’s book will guide you to do that in simple and easy steps.”
—Selina Juul, founder of the Stop Wasting Food movement
