In this eye-opening episode of Let’s Talk Food, Chef April Fontenot is joined by special guest environmental scientist Marissa Msefya for a real, practical conversation about something we all deal with—but don’t always talk about: food waste. From fridge clean-outs to leftover transformations, they’ll explore creative ways to use what you already have and reduce waste in your kitchen. Marissa also breaks down the basics of composting—what it is, how to start, and why it matters more than ever.

Whether you're a home cook, a busy parent, or just someone who hates throwing away good food, this episode will leave you with the tools, tips, and motivation to make meaningful changes without sacrificing flavor or convenience.

Because loving your food means respecting every part of it—from prep to plate… and even what’s left behind.
