Author Tamar Adler in Conversation with Food Writer and Editor Colman Andrews

Join Perrot Library and Waste Free Greenwich on Wednesday, April 26, at 7 pm, for an inspiring and educational culinary event with James Beard and IACP award-winning author, Tamar Adler, about her new book, The Everlasting Meal Cookbook: Leftovers A-Z.  Internationally known food writer and editor Colman Andrews will lead the discussion on inspiring, money-saving ways to make meals satisfying, delicious, and, of course, less wasteful.

April 26th happens to be “Stop Food Waste Day,” aiming to teach people ways to reduce food waste. “We are thrilled to partner again with Perrot Library on this event with Tamar Adler about her much-anticipated cookbook,” said Julie DesChamps, founder of Waste Free Greenwich. “What better way to spend ‘Stop Food Waste Day’ than with Ms. Adler, in conversation with Colman Andrews, about environmentally responsible ways to cook.”

The Everlasting Meal Cookbook: Leftovers A-Z is an encyclopedia of leftovers and features a foreword by Alice Waters. The cookbook is organized by unused ingredients, from apple peels to potato chip crumbs and carrot tops to Dorito dust, with thousands of easy and creative ideas for what to do with them.

The discussion will take place “on the green” in the Youth Services Department, Radcliffe Children’s Library at Perrot Library and will be followed by a book signing with books available for sale by Athena Books.
