AN EVERLASTING MEAL COOKBOOK

The award-winning, bestselling author of An Everlasting Meal serves up an inspiring, money-saving, environmentally-responsible A-to-Z encyclopedia of recipes for every leftover one might find, in any quantity, lingering in the refrigerator or pantry - perfect solo meals or for feeding the whole family.

There are some things in the kitchen universe that don't have further uses, but according to Tamar Adler they aren't many. Finding appetizing destinies for leftovers is Adler's area of culinary expertise. It doesn't matter if there are extra potatoes or meat, citrus peel, cold rice, a few final olives in a jar, the end of a piece of cheese, potato chip crumbs or apple sauce. An Everlasting Meal Cookbook is a go-to resource for when kitchens seem full of ends of meals and empty of clear beginnings. Hoping to provide the most help to the most people, Adler includes foods at the furthest ends of the spectrum - from "Truffles, Perigord, dust" to "Chips, Potato, Sour Cream and Onion, crumbs" - and everything in between, whether it's "Applesauce, teaspoon;" "Bread, peasant, sliced;" or "Cabbage, core."

The Everlasting Meal Cookbook is a vital tool in empowering home cooks: a current, comprehensive guide through which one can easily flip, finding uses for all manner of scraps and bits and pieces. These inspiring and delicious recipes don't demand many precise measurements (one can hardly be prescribed a certain amount of a given leftover) and are essential to cooking with economy and grace.
