There's a new IKEA Canada cookbook that you can get for free online and it's all about cooking with food scraps that you would usually throw out.

The ScrapsBook has recipes from a bunch of North American chefs that use things like peels, stalks, bones and seeds as ingredients and it's meant to reduce food waste.

This cookbook is available to everyone and you can download it for free online, on Apple Books and Google Play Books.

It has 50 recipes for breakfasts, mains, sides, soups, salads, snacks and desserts, like a no waste omelette, plantcakes, meatballs, corn husk smoked chicken, beet bit chips and a chocolate banana peel cake.

If you're going to be saving food scraps from going to waste, you might want to also save some money and you can do that by using IKEA hacks when you shop.
