We have been proactively trying to reduce food waste in our household for quite sometime now. It's a learning process with still lots to improve upon but I would say one of the best thing to come out of it has been the stocks. I save up the vegetable scraps, buy fish whole when I can (or you can ask your fishmonger for fish bones), get beef bones or save chicken carcasses. It's quite easy once you start doing it and it's a wonderful addition to any meal - just replace the water in any recipe with stock. I recently made the Broiled Snapper with Summer Herb Vinaigrette and decided to use the fish bones to make a simple stock. The brown rice vinegar at the end adds the extra oomph to the flavor.
