Not using Leftovers should be a thing of the past 

One of the most flavour-packed Leftovers

Don’t throw the bones away 

Even once you have carefully scrapped all the Meat from the Bones - don’t throw the bones away - as they have another life in providing in flavoursome Stock - for use now - or for putting in the freezer

We're all throwing away a scary amount of food

Finally - we are all throwing away a scary amount of food we could be eating – seven million tonnes of it every year according to Love Food Hate Waste. The average UK family bins £60 worth of food every month, which adds up to over £700 a year. This is not only a waste of our money - it's bad for the environment, too.

10% of greenhouse gases

According to the IPCC Report Food Waste alone also causes 10% of greenhouse gases responsible for global warming
 
We can all learn a few simple techniques, to reduce the amount of food we waste and still eat healthily – and enjoyably. 

Do remember

Do remember that you bought Premium Quality Meats in the first place - so why waste that provenance and quality

Sprinkled with Michelin Chefs

Now with our Leftovers Recipes - some sprinkled with recipes by Michelin Chefs - you can now enjoy the pleasure of a full Sunday Roast - and know there will be more meals to come - that are just as delicious as the first one - and at very little additional cost - and no waste
