In "The Everlasting Meal Cookbook: Leftovers A-Z," food journalist Tamar Adler suggests ways to use ingredients commonly thrown away. Her practical guide is organized alphabetically by ingredient, making it easy to find uses for whatever leftovers are at hand.
Fruit scraps, for instance, can be brewed into teas or baked with sugar and cinnamon for snacks. Overripe berries and apples can be baked in pies or tarts, or saved in the freezer for making smoothies. Aging bananas can be made into bread, of course, but there are also good uses for the peels.
Tamar Adler finds delicious destinies for leftovers from acorn squash to zucchini, including nuts and breads and beans and meats and almost any other edible found in a kitchen.
