The Half-Full Fridge

Brilliant, simple, quick, and economical ideas to cook with whatever you have left in the fridge, which, no matter how empty it seems, is surely half full…

Have you ever cooked a whole chicken and ended up with half of it leftover? Did you host a party and end up with extra fries? Or perhaps you were stood up, and what was supposed to be dinner for two is now dinner for just one? Sometimes it's hard to gauge the right amounts, and we end up wasting food that could have been perfectly repurposed. In fact, on average, one-third of the food cooked daily around the world ends up in the trash.

But just like a half-full glass, there’s always something to be salvaged from the fridge—whether it’s leftovers or something that might not seem like it has much potential as a dish. Not anymore. Jordi Roca, along with his nephews Marc and Martí Roca, are the authors and the stars of this book full of brilliant, easy, and fun leftover recipes.

Extraordinarily creative and simple dishes with surprising ingredients like a “ganchitos” omelet made with egg and this festive snack, or sandwiches made with leftover chicken, or hummus made from endless leftover chickpeas that turn into an amazing spread, or the Mex pizza made with leftover nachos from a pajama party…

With The Half-Full Fridge, you’ll discover a new way of cooking with Jordi, Marc, and Martí—more than just cooking, it’s about making the most of what you have and enjoying it… Will you join the party?
