From Pork Roast to Lime Cookies: Six Chefs Create a Leftovers Chain
What to do with the food that remains after a meal? It’s a key part of the dining equation for home cooks these days.
We’ve never been so directly connected to chefs: Many are hosting impromptu cooking classes in their personal kitchens, an unexpected bonus for food lovers amid the chaos the coronavirus pandemic has inflicted on restaurants. Yet once the shakshuka’s eggs have set, there’s one thing the expert livestreams often skip: What to do with the food that goes uneaten?
As home cooks know, leftovers play a key role in the food equation right now. So Bloomberg Pursuits asked six top chefs to give us the recipe for one of their most beloved dishes, then to pass along the excess ingredients to someone else to make magic. Call it a chef daisy chain.
