A Mission Against Food Waste
"I'd like to see technology help with food waste. That would be the highlight of my life."— Joanie
First In, First Out
Use what you bought first. Track what's aging in your fridge and get recipes to rescue ingredients before they spoil.
Creative Substitutions
Missing an ingredient? No problem. Our recipes suggest smart swaps so you can cook with what you have, not what you don't.
Nothing Goes to Waste
Every ingredient matters. Learn techniques to use scraps, stems, and peels that others throw away.
Americans waste $1,500 worth of food per year. Let's change that together.

About Joanie
Joanie grew up in upstate New York helping her dad in his children's clothing shop — and she's been mixing creativity with hard work ever since. After a career in finance in London and New York, she followed her heart back to the kitchen and the garden.
A trained chef, lifelong gardener, and volunteer firefighter in Hastings-on-Hudson, Joanie now cooks from her terraced home overlooking the Hudson River, where she grows everything from shiso to figs — and turns "nothing in the fridge" into something unforgettable.
