What do you serve when Gordon Ramsay shows up for dinner in your dreams? Caramelized fennel + bacon pizza. Apparently.

A simple meal of huevos rancheros made from leftovers pulled from the fridge.

A vegetable-packed lasagna made with fresh Swiss chard noodles and a celeriac bechamel.

Homemade blue corn tortillas wrapped around crunchy vegetables and leftover slow-roasted beef.

Slow-roasted spicy top round with a red wine-orange juice reduction.

My love affair with leftovers kicks off with creamy, velvety celeriac soup.

Toasted couscous salad with fennel stalks, red cabbage and salt & pepper preserved kumquats.

Fennel stalk candied in simple syrup and fennel fronds preserved in salt.

10-minute rosemary roasted cashews. Eat nuts. Live forever.

A smooth and creamy soup with white beans, leeks, and the salty, funky flavor of preserved lemon.

Fresh, unsmoked ham is similar to pork loin but much more economical. Slow-roasted and glazed with red currant jelly it’s lovely.
