FIRST DON'T WASTE
AT THE TABLE WITH PAOLA
A recipe doesn't need a hundred ingredients. Three are enough but they must be formidable. Here is Paola's motto, which takes us on a journey through her flavours. First, don't waste it's his blog, where he talks to us about a different cuisine, attentive to reusing everything we have in the fridge.

WELCOME TO EASY TRAVEL HOSTING! YOUR BLOG TALKS ABOUT COOKING, WITH A STRONG ORIENTATION TO ECOLOGY, AVOIDING WASTE, RECOVERY AND RECYCLING. COULD YOU TALK TO US ABOUT YOUR PHILOSOPHY IN THE KITCHEN?
Hello and thanks for your hospitality!
Eight years ago I opened, almost for fun, a recipe blog, in which I wanted to transfer my philosophy to the kitchen, that is, very high attention to waste.
In my opinion, food must be respected, and it must always be, both when it is beautifully fresh, freshly prepared, and when, through our fault, it has become a leftover, or we classify it as waste.
This is why my recipes are almost always proposed to recover both leftovers and waste, often making them become dignified protagonists of new preparations.
And when I don't recover food, I advise how to recover time, another precious ingredient of our times
HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU THINK IT IS TO UNDERSTAND A PEOPLE THROUGH THEIR CUISINE?
Thanks, I really like this question!
In my opinion, gastronomic culture is fundamental in the history of peoples. There is no need to start from far away, just look at our regional specialties, and it immediately becomes clear how gastronomic tradition is linked to the territory, to local availability, to traditions.
Until not long ago, exchanges from country to country were not as easy and fast as they are today, everyone had to "make do" with what the territory, position and climate allowed them.
And finally, tasting local specialties, both Italian and foreign, is essential to then be able to say "I was there".
AN IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION: IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE ONE TYPE OF FOOD FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Haha! Chocolate! There I just unwrap the packaging 😉
OUTSIDE THE KITCHEN, WHAT DO YOU DO TO MAKE YOUR LIFE GREENER?
I think, or rather, I see examples around me: those who pay attention to the environment perhaps develop it in one direction (like me for food), but then orient all their behavior in a sustainable way. I don't waste food, but I don't waste water, energy or resources either. I carefully separate waste collection.
I practically always use public transport, the bicycle or what I prefer: my legs. Finally, beyond the number of followers of the blog (www.primononsprecare.it) or the sales of my book (Il Gusto di Non Waste, on Amazon), I try to spread the culture of non-waste as much as I can.
Easy Travel Hosting thanks Paola very much for taking part in our interview, and sharing with us her concept of non-waste in the kitchen, which fits perfectly with our ecological philosophy.
