Leftover Makeovers: Quick And Fabulous Food From Your Fridge And Pantry

Many of us are guilty of buying, and cooking, more food than we actually eat. Fruits and vegetables languish in the crisper drawer; the cupboards are crammed with an assortment of cereal boxes, the contents of which are slowly going stale; the freezer is bulging with bags of bread crusts and open packets of puff pastry; and in the fridge, half a dozen eggs are a day away from their best-before date.

As well as costing a fortune to buy food we don't end up eating, there are moral and environmental reasons why we need to be imaginative with the food we already have in our fridge or pantry. Here Sally Wise shares her recipes for turning almost any kind of leftover into a new and delicious meal. From bread to cheese to cooked meat and vegetables and even scrapings from jam and Vegemite jars, there is a simple, mouth-watering and economical way to transform what you've already got into tonight's dinner.
