In the UK we throw away 6.7 million tonnes of food a year - that's a third of all the food we buy, and a fifth of our total domestic waste. And about half of it could be eaten.

On her mission to use up leftovers, wrinkly fruit and past-it veg, she includes modern, tasty recipes for: Bakes Casseroles Chutneys Crumbles Curries Fishcakes Gratins Marinades Meatballs Milkshakes Pies Soups Stews Stir-fries And more!

This book is all about how you actually cook day to day. It's so clear. Look in the fridge to see what you have. Go to the relevant chapter, and there you have lists of ideas for things you can do with it. So it's great for inspiring you to expand your usual repertoire of dishes.
I made gnocchi today for the first time ever, because of this book, (I have no idea what I would usually have done with the surplus of BOGOF potatoes my husband bought - a lot of mash probably) and it tasted amazing, and the children loved it.
I love this book so much that it is my bedtime reading at the moment!

A great book, that gives great ideas for leftovers as well as cheap meals to feed the family. A must in this day and age of having to cut costs. Here, you can learn how, while feeding your family good, wholesome and filling meals at the same time. Straightforward without being condescending, no frills, just getting on with it.

This book looks lovely and the recipes are too. I loved the style of presenting recipes which essentially are about saving money in such a glamorous style. I am no cook and yet can use this book to make things from my fridge no problem as they are simply presented and use ingredients I know very imaginatively. Perfect for the credit crunch and just a great read too.

I felt a little bit disappointed with this book as I expected more recipes using up leftovers. What was printed was OK, but I felt it could have been better
