Make Eton Mess with leftover Easter eggs My mum makes amazing meringues. I do not. This is my gift to you! Meringues aren't the easiest thing to make. I have struggled. The egg whites to perfect stiff peaks, and then a little sugar and a little more and a little more...

Make soft, cinnamon buns with leftover Easter eggs Twirly, rich, and more-ish. My long-time readers will know that my family love a cinnamon bun. So, oh darling Sue, what joy was this! Chopping up leftover easter eggs and folding into a buttery dough? Thank *you*! I...

Leftover Easter Egg Salted Nut Bark Remember when chocolate pretzels came to the UK? I do. I begged my mum to buy them, and eventually she relented. What was this foul salty, salty biscuit combo? Bah, be GONE. I didn’t hear about chocolate and salt again until The...

Leftover Bolognese Pizza University is supposed to be when you learn to tackle difficult problems, meet exciting people and have adventures. I started every other weekend on the Virgin West Coast from Manchester to London, reading ‘Heat’ and eating a brie wrap from...

Leftover celery salad Love it, hate it; celery is a backbone of many recipes because of its strong flavour. But if you’ve bought a head of celery for your Bolognese or Jambalaya, what to do with all the leftovers? If you really hate celery, you can slice and freeze...

Leftover Porridge Bread My eldest brother and I share a love of baking (and eating bread), and I’ve learned a lot from him. He's bought me endless books because, chez Storr, all the best presents are rectangles. Learning that a loaf of bread requires only a ratio was...
