Second Helpings

Second Helpings offers 100 delicious and innovative ways to use up leftovers, to help you waste less food and spend less money.

The book is packed with ingenious ways to use up bits and bobs in the fridge, half-empty packets in the larder, past-their-best fruit and veg as well leftovers from previous meals. Sue Quinn shows that when we truly celebrate leftovers, they can be a springboard for exciting dishes that taste just as good – if not better – than the meal from which they hailed.

This inspirational cookbook includes 100 recipes and ideas that showcase the most commonly wasted foods, such as bread, milk, cheese, potatoes, bananas, apples, salad leaves, leftover takeaways and previous meals.
