Liven up your leftovers
Using up left over food was esential during and after the second world war as food supplies were limited. Eventually food became cheaper and more readily available many families started to throw away left over food and started cooking with fresh ingredients at every meal.
In this tough economic climate the benefits of being less wasteful are good for you and our planet as:
- using left over food is cost effective for your family and the money you save can be used for other treats
- discarded food ends up in landfill which increases our carbon footprint and contributes to climate change
Use these new resources to help you use up your leftovers and make delicious side dishes, meals and snacks.
