Hi! I'm Julie Resnick, co-founder of feedfeed, a global community of people that love to cook, sharing the things they make on hashtag #feedfeed on social media.
Reviewing thousands of submissions on #feedfeed each day from our Instagram community, often times I'll see a recipe and have an aha! moment and wonder why I've never thought of a certain technique or flavor combination (i.e this amazing risotto style bucatini!).
I'm often asked, "What kinds of foods are trending in the world of home cooks, chefs, and bloggers on #feedfeed?" so I will be writing an ongoing column tackling just that.
When I started coming across recipes made from food scraps used in prepared meals, I knew I had to dig a little deeper. We've all seen the nose to tail dining go mainstream, so why not root to stem?
So eat your compost...Really! Stop throwing away perfectly good food; many vegetable tops and scraps (typically thrown away) can often be eaten from root to stem.

This might be my favorite example of innovative root to stem cooking and will serve to dress up any salad or complement a burger instead of a pickle!

We all throw way too many peals, which often contain the most concentrated and interesting component of flavor in the fruits? Tea is the perfect way to harness that flavor!
