Left over mash and veg I fry up the next daynfor bubble and squeak. Delish

My Nanny used to make Rissoles using leftover mash and veg, just add mashed chickpeas and mixed ground nuts and and egg. roll in flour and shape - delicious fried with an egg! I make these at least once a week - inexpensive and nutritious

Leftovers go into pasta dishes, curries, soups, and hashes. We genuinely waste practically no food at all.

I like to make a curry or a risotto with my leftovers.

I also like to to freeze any leftovers and thus have an easy meal at a later date.

I've just borrowed this book from our (lovely) library and would buy it for the very helpful advice alone. It's the sort of book new cooks ought to be given because it talks a lot of sense about kitchen management which seems to get lost or overlooked by most other cookbooks.

I always buy a big pack of sausages so I can make this.

4 good quality cooked sausage, I use Cumberland
2 large eating apples
tin of chopped tomatoes
1 onion roughly chopped.

gently soften the onions in a little butter (or oil), thickly slice the sausages and add to the pan with the tomatoes, peel core and cut the apples into 8 and add to the pan. Cook until the apples are softened.

Serve with paste or rice.

Makes 2 large servings

Leftovers go in an omelette, spiced-up with a few chilli flakes, and sprinkled with chopped parsley to 'posh' it up a bit!

I love Hugh FW.

Here's my favourite left overs recipe (I didn't know you need recipes for using up left overs)

Leftover Fritters.

1 cup of any leftover vegetables or meat, chopped up.
1 chopped raw onion.
1 slice of white bread, dampened with milk and a splash of boiling water.
1 large egg lightly beaten.
Salt, pepper, chilli or any other seasoning.

Mix it all up together (the bread disintegrates into the mixture) and fry tablespoons of the mixture in shallow oil to make small patties. Serve with sauce or chutney of choice.

Amazingly tasty.
