Leftover Gourmet

Create delicious meals with this brilliant guide to making the most of the leftover food in your fridge, freezer or pantry. Most of us end up buying and cooking more food than we actually eat. As well as it costing a fortune, there are moral and environmental reasons why we should consume the food we already have before buying more. No-one likes to throw out leftover food, yet often it is simply that we don't know what else to do with it that stops us re-using it. Richard Till shows us how, with a little inspiration, leftovers can be easily transformed into brand new dishes. With chapters on using up leftover sauces, vegetables and desserts, Richard offers plenty of tips, as well as makeover ideas for leftovers from special occasion meals like Christmas dinner, to roast dinners or Friday night takeaways.

Television chef and bestselling author Richard Till has cooked for Stevie Wonder, U2, Miles Davis, Simply Red, Jimmy Barnes, New Order, the English cricket team, and thousands upon thousands of Kiwis. He is the face of Countdown supermarkets and is a lecturer in the Department of Theatre and Film Studies at the University of Canterbury.
