Good Dumpster Cooking

A blog about cooking with trash.

Lemon Meringue Pie

Since I had a lot of lemons and eggs this week I decided to make a lemon meringue pie. It’s a very light pie that doesn’t actually take much to bake, except a somewhat labor-intensive process. The recipe (I made an 8 inch pie; the recipe linked is the same recipe but for a 9… Read More Lemon Meringue Pie

January 28, 2019

Tonight brought the most stuff I’ve managed to get home by myself without my friend and his truck. Of course I prefer going with him but it does feel good to know I can handle finding and carrying all this stuff on my own. Normally it seems like the dumpsters are empty when I show… Read More January 28, 2019

Almond-Crusted Mahi-Mahi

Two weeks ago I found a bag of almond meal. This isn’t finely ground enough to use for stuff like macarons or frangipane but it’s great for breading. So I’m using it to bread some mahi-mahi. I grew up calling this fish “dolphin,” which of course led to a lot of people briefly upset at… Read More Almond-Crusted Mahi-Mahi

Chocolate-Drizzled Coconut Macaroons

The French macaron has become trendy in the past few years (my favorite flavors are earl grey, rose, and pistachio), leading to an occasional need for clarification between that cookie and the coconut macaroon. The similarity is in more than just the name; the two cookies are derived from a common almond-based ancestor, and both… Read More Chocolate-Drizzled Coconut Macaroons

January 14, 2019

Tonight was a good night. We had been hoping for eggs, and we found four dozen (and broke three of them) and four large tubs of yogurt (though unfortunately, none of it was plain) between us, as well as a number of other nice things, many of which there were exactly two of. Here’s what… Read More January 14, 2019

Burrata and Arugula Salad

This is the third time we’ve found burrata. I had never had burrata until I started dumpstering, and it was something my friends spoke of it as though it were a mythical artifact; the ancient golden sword of cheeses. I believe one of them mentioned stuffing a whole one inside a hamburger patty, but maybe… Read More Burrata and Arugula Salad

Falafel Tacos

Last night I found some tortillas (they say they’re low carb and high fiber, probably good considering I’ve been eating a lot of pasta lately, but they’re a little tough compared to regular tortillas) and a tub of avocado tzatziki dip, which made it pretty much a given that I ought to pull out the… Read More Falafel Tacos
