    Although i have to challenge the "everybody has left over potato in the house" idea. They've obviously never visited our house :)

    :rotfl:Nor ours either

    I have even given up on the idea of cooking a bit extra to 'create' leftovers...not a hope - everything gets scoffed in one sitting.

    I was brought up by frugal parents as a full paid up member of the Clean Plate Club :rotfl:... not good for the waistline though!

    Hello everyone,

    Just thought i'd share this with you, apologies if it's already been posted but for those who have an iphone you can download a free app called love food hate waste. I've used it twice now, it's brilliant..you can type in the ingredients you have in your cupboards/fridge and it brings up a recipe. Also has portion measures. I'm impressed with it.

    :)
