I see that the Government is trying to
convince people that they can eat well on an affordable budget and that Sainsbury’s
are running a campaign entitled “Live Well for Less”
an entirely admirable sentiment and
something that is very close to my heart.
Much of this blog has been concerned with the delicious, creative AND economical use of leftovers – perhaps you've noticed! I wish Sainsbury and the Government the best of luck in their endeavours.

My lunch today is, in fact, a humble example
of using leftovers creatively.
When preparing the vegetables for last night’s dinner I couldn’t be bothered put the last few florets of cauli back into the fridge so cooked the lot. I was thinking “cauliflower cheese” at the time but today was a bit more creative.
I sautéed the cooked cauliflower with a teaspoonful of roasted garlic and then stir in my new favourite blue cheese – Saint Agur.
With a generous dose of freshly ground black pepper and a couple of slices of toast the meal ended up having a lot going for it being crunchy, creamy and nubbly, spicy and salty, hot and satisfying. Also fairly good for me I think – fresh veggies, wholegrain toast, just a little cholesterol and a healthy swig of red wine. Well done me. Again!
