Waste Not, Want Not

December 26, 2017

A festive feast is the gift that keeps on giving! Despite people often helping themselves to larger serves than normal, and justifying it by saying 'it's Christmas!', more often than not you still have enough food leftover to feed an army. If you hate waste as much as we do, here's a list of recipes to transform those leftovers into delicious meals that will keep you going well and truly into the New Year.

Don't forget, if you're reheating your meat, make sure it reaches a temperature of at least 80C, and remember, you can only do this once!
