Every Bite is a resource and community for conscious cooks from me, Emily Gussin, a food writer, stylist and chef.
This is a place for conscious cooks. For everyone who wishes to cut down on waste, cook with the rhythms of the seasons and make better environmental choices in the kitchen, but most importantly anyone who loves food. I know that it can feel complicated to ‘do the right thing’ in terms of ethics when you’re just trying to make dinner. There’s a lot of things we can do to make our cooking more eco-friendly and I really believe that even the small ones make a difference. But you’re only going to make better choices if you’re enjoying the food you’re cooking. I want you to savour every bite. Not just because food is precious but because eating is a pleasure.
Every fortnight on Tuesdays, I’ll share exclusive recipes, tips and hacks to make delicious food that just happens to be making those considerations too. There will be batch cook recipes, with follow on recipes to transform your leftovers into something different and exciting. There will be simple but special seasonal recipes and ideas for fridge raid dinners. Plus a sprinkling of my thoughts and feelings along the way.
It’s possible you’ve cooked some of my recipes before – I’ve been a recipe developer for the UK’s leading food magazines for 10 years now, and currently write for Delicious, where I head up our sustainability content too. I’m the author of two cookbooks Don’t Waste Your Pumpkin and Don’t Waste Your Turkey. I started cooking as a kid with my mum, who taught me how to throw together a meal with what I found in the fridge. Later I trained as a chef, worked in kitchens and hosted supper clubs.
I’ve written and tested thousands of recipes so I know what makes them reliable. But I also encourage you to be flexible in the way you cook. Swapping ingredients for what you already have in the fridge and adjusting to suit the situation is one of the best ways we can save on waste. I hope my writing gives you the confidence to have that flexibility.
Join me and enjoy every bite.
