The Food Shift Kitchen Companion: Getting the Most Out of Your Food is a collection of recipes and stories from the Food Shift community, each providing inspiration and techniques to maximize ingredients already on hand, encouraging flexibility and substitution. It includes a foreword by the Jacques Pépin Foundation.

The Food Shift Kitchen Companion Workbook can be used as a standalone guide to reduce wasted food, or with The Food Shift Kitchen Companion: Getting the Most Out of Your Food. This workbook shares practical, everyday ideas, tools and techniques, so that every household can get involved and take small steps towards a sustainable food system.

The Food Shift Seasonal Kitchen Guide, created in partnership with StopWaste, celebrates the bounty of nature, our resilience, and well-being by highlighting twelve produce items, readily available and affordable in Alameda County, in a calendar-style format. It is illustrated by a local artist and honors the silkscreen art style of activists past and present.

Food Shift’s first digital cookbook, “Recipes for an Ethical Food System,” is a call to action for a more just and sustainable world. Every plant-based recipe nourishes both people and the planet, paired with original art by our Artist in Residence, Colin Kimzey, celebrating the power of food as a force for change.

A critical study led by Food Shift to understand the gaps and challenges in the food waste and recovery sector and better understand where there are opportunities for innovation. Read Food Shift’s findings here.
