Very little food waste goes into the compost bin in Conor Spacey’s house. Instead, leftover cake goes in the freezer until it can be rebaked, carrot tops are used for pesto, and the water from a tin of chickpeas makes a cream substitute.
While Spacey, a chef from Wexford in south-east Ireland, doesn’t eat meat, he has learned from butchers the value of using every piece of an animal, and applied it to fruit and vegetables.
