This Old Baker Podcast Episode 63 — Small Batch Cooking: Stop Making More Than You'll Actually Eat

Kim threw away leftovers yesterday. Good ones. And she's the person who teaches people not to waste food. In this episode she makes the case that the problem isn't willpower or discipline — it's batch size. Most recipes still feed six to eight people, and most households aren't six to eight people anymore. She breaks down the real math of leftover waste, gives explicit permission to cut recipes down to whatever size actually fits your household, and walks through the five practical changes that make small batch cooking work — including why shopping smaller saves more money than buying in bulk when you throw half of it away. Plus an introduction to the small batch crockpot soup series on the blog.Small batch crockpot soups and more at thisoldbaker.com | Facebook & Instagram @thisoldbaker
