Making a Meal of It : Smart Ways to Buy, Store and Use Up Food

Making a Meal of It is a guide to making the most of the food we feel guilty about throwing away. Bursting with tips, ideas and recipes, this book tells you how to buy the best, keep it fresh, and make use of every bit - and, when you forget, how to restore and revive. The ideas are simple and flexible, from tasty solutions for last night's leftovers to easy recipes for a bulk buy or garden harvest. Tuck in and make a meal of it. You'll save time and money, and a bit of the planet too. Find out: which everyday vegetable is healthier cooked than raw; what staple causes food poisoning in the home; why you shouldn't put a vase of flowers near the fruit bowl; why apes peel their bananas from the other end. 'There's lots of good advice for storing food and plenty of yummy suggestions for leftovers for people who don't have compost or chooks.' - South Coast Register
