Never a leftover, leftover
Leftover porridge muffins
Leftover Porridge Muffins During the 'lean years', childcare took most of my 3 figure a month salary. The nursery was necessary but so expensive. I couldn’t not work. Life was dull. It was 2008. Food prices rose every week. One night, my ex and I went on a rare night...
Leftover porridge pancakes
Leftover Porridge Pancakes Okay, I hear that, for many of you, scraping up leftover porridge is a step too far. If it does then I suggest, gently, that you don't have to worry about money. I’m sure you budget, but you don’t panic about the 10p going in the bin. I only...
Blood orange & lemon jellies
Home made gelatine jellies Using up leftover gelatine wasn’t the easiest of challenges. I wasn’t about to start investigating the heritage of American jelly salads, though I’m sure they’re dear to people’s hearts. Our gelatine recipe choices are sweet, fun – and...
Fruity jelly

Lemon Zest Sugar
Leftover lemon zest sugar Lemon and sugar are, to my mind, the best pancake day filling. Sweet and sour, everyone can add more lemon or sugar to their taste. Simple. Minimum effort required by the cook. But what about the leftover lemon zest and juice-less fruit? What...
Dosas, for every little leftover curry
Dosas, a love story Tomorrow is a big day for StorrCupboard: the first StorrCupboard Food Waste workshop. Quite nervous. I've been putting a lot of background work into StorrCupboard so I'm often running to chase my tail. So I’m writing this just ahead of hitting...
Nut butter smoothie pancakes
Leftover nut butter smoothie into ... pancakes?! At the moment I'm enjoying my dinners a little too much, so I'm not hugely hungry for my brekkie. So, nut butter smoothies are a good breakfast - a banana, a huge dollop of peanut butter and loads of milk. One portion...
Lardy tea bread
Using your leftover lard in sweet bread... Bread, sweet bread, sourdough and everything. It wasn’t – obviously – planned that I’d have three bread recipes in as many weeks. I certainly didn’t think that I’d find myself with dough-sticky hands again, making another...
