The Thrifty Cookbook: 476 Ways to Eat Well with Leftovers By Kate Colquhoun
“This book is not about buying fresh, organic, sustainable, free-range ingredients. It is not about creating picture-perfect dishes or even super-healthy ones. It is not about wowing guests with slick menus and asymmetric flower arrangements. It’s about the bit that comes afterwards, the bit about eating it all up.”
It is a book about throwing less away, about how to use left overs well. Also how to plan meals l: roast chicken, then the left over chicken stretched for chicken fried rice, then chicken stock made with the bones…
A great family cookbook IMHO and especially for those of us who enjoy being frugal and still eating well. It is a British author, not a NZ one but I didn’t find that a disadvantage.
“The Thrifty Cookbook will reconnect us with our kitchen, leaving us with more time on our hands, more cash in our pockets and more space in our fridges – not to mention a great big environmental brownie point.”
For those super thrifty among us here is the link to the Auckland library.
