With attention focused today on cutting down on food waste, it's the perfect time to take a new look at the power to transform leftovers. Forget Jell-O molds and mystery meat! Jacquie presents new approaches inspired by international cuisines to save money and cut down on climate emissions by "shopping the fridge" and reinventing what's left over from last night's dinner into something different and delicious. She’ll describe seven dishes that have been used throughout time as perfect containers for the “bibs and bobs” that remain after a meal. She’ll also provide recipes created by celebrity chefs who love to repurpose their own leftovers. Do you have your own recipes and tips – ones from your family or that you’ve come up with by yourself that you'd like to share? Jacquie is a food waste advocate, culinary historian, past chair of the Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Board, founder of WeHateToWaste.com, and author of The New Rules of Green Marketing.
