Most of us look around the kitchen and struggle to use up everything we buy, and then when it comes to leftovers we're stuck. That's where Tamar Adler can help--her area of culinary expertise is finding delicious destinies for leftovers. Whether it's extra potatoes or meat, citrus peels or cold rice, a few final olives in a jar or the end of a piece of cheese, she has an appetizing solution. Here, in An Everlasting Meal Cookbook , she offers more than 1,500 easy and creative ideas to use up nearly every kind of leftover--and helpfully explains how long each recipe takes.
