"Food savers" helping to make fruit and veg go further

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 3 April 2023

Two Australian women have come up with a practical way to make fresh fruit and vegetables go further after they seem a little iffy to most.

Alex Elliot-Howery and Jamie Edward have made it their mission is to empower home cooks to make less wasteful, more delicious meals every day.

They've started The Food Savers A-Z, a resource to minimise food waste and make great meals out of whatever you have in your fridge or pantry that might have seen better days.

Alex Elliot-Howery talks to Jesse about their book which includes hacks, storage tips and shortcuts for more than 150 common vegetables, fruits and kitchen staples.
