No-Waste Kitchen Guide review
A $17.99 ebook on cutting food waste, credited for once to a chef rather than a doctor.
Pass
Reducing food waste saves money and is practical, and the contents list is useful. This is also the one title in the batch whose co-author is described as a chef rather than a doctor with an invented degree, which fits the subject. The rest of the listing follows the seller's template: no page count, a permanent $47 anchor and a readership number that cannot be checked. Food-waste campaigns publish free storage guides and leftover recipes.

Shopping, storage, leftovers
Five practical topics that together cut waste.
Storage advice is the most useful part.
Free campaigns
Public food-waste campaigns offer storage charts and leftover recipes.
They cover much of the same ground.
A chef, not a doctor
Unusually for this seller, the co-author section describes a chef, Audrey Ortiz, with 17 years at the helm of professional kitchens, instead of a doctor with an invented degree. For a kitchen guide that is at least a fitting credential.
It still comes without a restaurant, a city or any profile that would let you check it, and everything else on the listing follows the seller's template.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 434000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
