Waste No Food - Crystal Chiu

Ingredients are valuable. Remembering this can spur innovative ideas to use every single ounce, gram or milliliter.  Recognizing how much vanilla beans cost, chef Crystal Chiu wanted to make the most out of this precious ingredient. Not only do Canlis use the beans, but they also save the skins to infuse into sugar or blend them into powders that can be used for other dishes, ensuring that absolutely nothing goes to waste.
