More kitchen tricks from Jean Paré
– make leftovers disappear like magic!
If you’re a city dweller, the last months of winter might seem to be slower paced than the weeks before the holiday season – but that’s not so if you’re ranching or farming. Calving usually starts in January and runs through to March, then it’s time to get ready for spring seeding and fix pasture fences for summer turn-out. This is the time of year to make short work in the kitchen and take advantage of leftovers in the fridge. Meals can be just as appealing and delicious and in Jean Pare’s new cookbook, Recipes for Leftovers, you’ll find plenty of ideas for a little bit of this and a little more of that. Enjoy!
