Purchase options and add-ons

Nick Evans runs the popular food blog macheesmo.com, and he came up with a simple yet effective concept for everyday cooking: Create one foundation dish, in decent quantity, when you have the time--perhaps on a lazy Sunday afternoon--and then repurpose it to make other delicious dishes throughout the week. Cooking this way saves time and money and allows busy people to eat well every night.
            Love Your Leftovers includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert options as well as a wide range of cuisines. Each main dish will have eight to ten creative recipes for leftovers. So, if you make a Roast Chicken one night, you can then make Chicken Tortilla Soup, Creamy Chicken Pesto Pasta, or Chicken and Dumplings another night. A Flank Steak can morph into Spicy Beef Wontons or Vietnamese Noodle Salad. Spicy Black Beans can become Black Bean Burgers or Crunchy Black Bean Tacos. Love Your Leftovers will also feature chapters on kitchen and pantry basics and Meal Planning 101, as well as a helpful index of vegetarian and thirty-minute meals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wowza! Recipes that work!

I admit it readily, I am a cookbook hoarder from a long line of cookbook hoarders. There are cookbooks in my family that are actual books and cookbooks that are handwritten. Hundreds of cookbooks and at least two hundred are in my personal collection.. Each book saved to my permanent collection is extra special as most cookbooks only have one or two recipes I would make or eat. Those books are passed on to other cooks, I keep the golden ones and this one is golden.

I saw this book and perked up. I read the reviews and thought hmmmmm. I waited a bit. I browsed facebook. I checked Nick Evans blog. The blog sold me. I bought the book and was thankful I did.

This book is neatly arranged by main ingredient. There is a recipe for the main ingredient, then a list of what ca be made from leftovers of that ingredient. There is an index, something becoming a lost art in today's cookbooks.

Because I am a cookbook hoarder, I switched to ebooks. It is neater, no dusting and I have the books right where they belong because no one wandered off with one. Some books are worthy enough to be purchased in print form also now. These books are right in the kitchen for weekly use and this one is going in that shelf as soon as I am paid next week!

This book is full of delightful recipes, written in an easy to follow conversational manner. These recipes can be followed by anyone able to read who has basic cooking skills. That is important to me as I am teaching someone to cook. She sometimes freaks out if she thinks the dish is cooking wrong so small helpful bits of encouragement are a bonus. ("Don't worry if a few grains of rice escape while draining." "Be sure to only cook your pasta al dente so it does not become soggy during baking." "Use a meat thermometer to check your pork.") This gem of a book includes those tips!

Color this jaded cookbook gal impressed. I will be a regular blog follower as well. Well worth every nickel spent on it if you struggle with leftovers or if you are looking for some new go to recipes to expand the menu!

I have been a subscriber to Nick Evan's blog for some time and have loved any recipe of his I've tried, so i was excited about a cook book. I was less excited when I heard it was related to leftovers, since I have a disdain for leftover food and eating the same meal more than once. The recipes in this book completely transform your leftovers into something new, which means you waste less and save more money, and the quality of food doesn't suffer.
I love to cook. I have dozens and dozens of cook books, and I love trying new recipes. This book takes a different approach to cook books by helping you get the most of your money while trying new recipes. Instead of going to the store and spending $400 on groceries to try your 7 new recipes for the week, this book narrows that down to one major cooking endeavor and then ways to use the leftovers from that to create dishes that don't feel like leftovers. I recommend this book, especially for those like me who's shopping addiction is not the Gap, but the grocery store. You can have delicious meals without spending a fortune at the store.

It wasn't exactly what I expected - I figured it would be more of an ad-hoc guide to repurposing leftovers of whatever you happen to make. It's a little different - basically there are a bunch of basic preparations for assorted meats, veggies and starches; and then for each base there are a handful of recipes you can make with the leftovers. It teaches you how to plan your meals for the week around a couple central ingredients. All the recipes are easy and everything I've made so far has been good! A great cookbook for busy people who want to eat well, those new to meal planning or anyone who just wants to cook more efficiently.

i was hoping for more. this book is a good start if all you have leftover is one thing like meats or rice.
wish it was like total remake of a whole meal. some of the recipes look real good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cookbook for busy people that want to eat out less
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2014

Like a lot of people, my wife and I are trying to eat at home more to save money, but we both work long hours and don't have time to cook a new meal every night. When we do have time to cook, we make one large meal and eat the leftovers for days... which gets boring fast.

This cookbook is awesome because it gives us recipes to make large portions of a few staple foods that last for days (we make these on the days we have time to cook) and then smaller faster recipes to make new and quick dishes each night using the leftovers.

I also really like how it's organized. Instead of searching for the individual dishes you want to make in a week, the book is laid out like a list of customizable meal plans, with the each dish in a chapter related to the others. It makes planing your meals for the week (and the grocery list to go with it) very very easy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something new under the sun!
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2014

This cookbook shares something lacking in many contemporary cookbooks- innovation. Each chapter focuses on a specific foundational recipe (roast chicken, flank steak, salmon, lentils, granola, etc.), and from that foundational recipe, a myriad of recipes is born. For instance, Evans shares his recipe for roast chicken with a variety of seasoning options and then shares more recipes that will feature the roasted chicken: Greek Chicken Salad, Shredded Chicken Hash, and Spicy Chicken Tostada, to name a few. Evans guides the reader to make several roasted chickens at one time and to use the chicken in a variety of recipes. As an experienced cook, I found the recipes to be uncomplicated while offering an innovative approach to my family's menu. The recipes feature fresh ingredients as opposed to processed foods. There are vegetarian options available, such as chapters on black beans, tofu, and lentils, but the weight of the book contains plenty of meat based meals.

I bought this originally to help with left overs like roast beef to create a new meal. That being said, if you're looking for that type of book, that's not what I found it to be. I may give it a read and see if I can get anything more beneficial from it.
