On this episode of Scran, Rosalind is joined by Scotland's national chef Gary MacLean and Zero Waste Scotland's Andrew Pankhurst to find out more about food waste and how to prevent it, as it is one of the biggest unrecognised contributors to our carbon footprint.

From Gary's batch cooking and vacuum packing methods to Andrew's tips on recycling and composting - it really is an eco friendly guide to cooking.

With Glasgow set to host the 26th Climate Change Conference it's time that Scotland follows a more sustainable approach to cooking and eating.

Expect practical tips and some laughs around recycling plus hear who Gary and Andrew's dream dinner party guests are.
