'Scrappy cooking' is popular across social media – it encourages us to reduce food waste and to liven up dishes with a thrifty twist. On Vegetarian for Life's companion website chef Claire discusses how a little creativity can help to stretch your budget and make the most of your fridge and pantry.

Claire shares recipe ideas, including a chickpea and vegetable stir-fry, that turn kitchen scraps into colourful, nourishing dishes.

She also talks about how to incorporate scrappy cooking into recipes in Vegetarian for Life's publication One-Pot Meals.
