Welcome to FabulousFusionFood's Leftovers-based Recipes Page — Leftovers are the foods literally 'left over' after a meal. All those things left uneaten. For as long as people have been cooking, there has been an excess food cooked. As a result, many inventive recipes have been devised to make use of those left-overs. The list here concentrates on Thanksgiving and Christmas leftovers, but there are inventive recipes to make use of left over or stale cakes, breads or biscuits (cookies). You will also find recipes for left-over vegetables, fish and meats (particularly turkey and chicken).
As well as a range of modern and traditional recipe, you will also find a number of Victorian recipes in this collection, this is hardly surprising as the Victorian household was very frugal and just about any left-over food would have been re-used, especially for the stock-pot which was constantly being simmered and replenished.
You will find everything here from traditional bubble and squeak through cakes made from leftover cake crumbs, muffins made from leftover porridge, uses for leftover mash, leftover ham mousse, ragouts, fricassées, ice creams, stocks, ragus, tetrazzini, chopsuey, soups, etouffee, curries, pies and many more.
With an increased interest in economy and minimising waste there is an increased interest/desire to minimise food waste. As a result there is an increased interest in recipes that make the most of leftover food, turning them into new dishes.
The alphabetical list of all the leftovers-based recipes on this site follows, (limited to 100 recipes per page). There are 105 recipes in total:
