I had so much fun making this A-Z of leftovers! For each letter and its ingredient I’ve given two or three suggestions for what to do with it, more often than not linked to specific recipes to get your creative juices flowing. But really these are just suggestions, everything is flexible and the idea is to use what you’ve got, hopefully reducing food waste and giving you the smug satisfaction that comes from making something out of what’s in the fridge and store cupboards already, without a trip to the shops.
You can use this A-Z at any time of year but it was mostly inspired by what I and others seem to have lots of over the festive period. As you’ll see, things got tricky towards the end of the alphabet. Forgive me for the letter X, I was really clutching at straws for that one! Please let me know in the comments if you’ve got a better idea for X, I’m dying to know!
Wishing you all a relaxing Christmas and a very happy new year!
