About this guide
Turn Leftovers and Odds & Ends into Good Meals
Turn leftover vegetables, grains, bread, herbs and other useful odds and ends into enjoyable new meals with practical ideas and sensible storage reminders.
Leftovers become useful when you can see what they might become next.
Waste Less, Cook More shows how cooked vegetables, grains, pasta, bread, herbs, dairy and roast-dinner components can be transformed into bowls, soups, egg dishes, pasta meals and other simple formats. It also introduces a realistic use-it-up routine and basic storage reminders.
The guide encourages observation and flexibility without making unsafe promises about how long individual foods will remain suitable to eat.
