Tamar Adler shows you how to make the most of your leftovers in her new cookbook
Tamar Adler's new cookbook is an ode to the bags of yesterday's salad in your fridge and the jars of nearly empty peanut butter in your cupboard. Leftovers, she says, are to be celebrated.
If the thought of leftovers grosses you out, Tamar Adler is here to change your mind. Her new cookbook, The Everlasting Meal Cookbook: Leftovers A-Z, is a seemingly endless encyclopedia of recipes that rely on what's left after we finish the initial meal.
Adler gives new life to the foods that many of us leave in the fridge to waste away until they wilt to the point of no return and go into the trash. The way she sees it, by making something new, you're honoring and extending the labor you put in the first time around.
