The Everlasting Meal Cookbook: leftovers A-Z by Tamar Adler
Tamar Adler's goal is cooking with absolutely NO WASTE. This book is organized by type of food - vegetables, bread, beans & rice, meat, etc. and then within each section it's organized alphabetically with ideas for what to do with that leftover item. Each section starts off with a short food related essay, although not always about the topic of that section. I'm all about leftovers and not wasting food. When you're growing your own food you're even less likely to waste it because you know all the work and effort that went into growing it firsthand! But, some of her ideas seems ridiculous - repurposing leftover cupcakes? Is that a thing - having leftover cupcakes? I think instead of encouraging eating leftovers and repurposing odd and ends this cookbook feels more like you need to repurpose every part of every leftover into something new. I'm all about eating leftovers, but that's because I don't want to cook every night. Overall, it's a unique idea but I don't know how practical it is especially for a newer cook.
