When did we decide something was a waste? What if some of the answers to today’s food waste and sustainability challenges have been in our kitchens all along?
In this episode of One Bite, Elif Bereketli explores how ingredients we often overlook or throw away can be transformed into something entirely different, and how the instinct to preserve, reuse and reinvent food has shaped Turkish culinary traditions.
Travelling across Türkiye, she meets zero-waste chef Özge Şahin Oyalı, food writer Nazlı Pişkin, Michelin-starred chef Osman Sezener of OD Urla, and local women keeping generations-old cooking traditions alive.
As the world discusses climate action and sustainability at COP, perhaps it’s time to rediscover what traditional food cultures can teach us about wasting less.
