Who’s In The Kitchen?
Food Blogger. Cookbook Author, and Speaker, Brent Garell
Hi, I’m Brent. My culinary career has given me the chance to cook alongside chefs, home cooks, and hundreds of students. I have noticed one familiar thread that ties all three together. The desire to reduce food waste.
- The Chef: to maximize profits by putting every ingredient to delicious use
- The Home Cook: to minimize the guilt of throwing away spoiled chicken or vegetables
- The Student: to not starve because they’re broke
The hardest part of cooking the food we already have is deciding what to make. When we can’t decide, it’s easier to tap the app. and order-in.
My challenge to you: Rescue $20 of food waste each week. That’s just over $1,000 a year. I’m here to help. Each week I share how I rescue food from my fridge on YouTube and Instagram. Free resources like the Food Rescue Template and Starter Kit make it even easier.
Myself and others have already started this challenge for 2026. That said, it’s never too late to join!
