Is it really possible to make good dishes with leftovers?

Yes — and even very good ones! Leftovers from the fridge are an excellent base for creating simple, tasty recipes that are often more original than expected. Sometimes, all it takes is an egg, a few spices, or a bit of pastry to transform everything.

How do you know if a food is still safe to eat?

Trust your senses: smell, texture, and appearance are your best allies. Some foods can go past their indicated date without being dangerous (like yogurt or eggs), but you should always be cautious. When in doubt, it’s better to skip it!

Is this blog suitable for beginner cooks?

Absolutely! Our recipes are simple, quick, and designed so you don’t need complicated equipment or special skills. Here, there’s no pressure — you learn by trying and have fun while cooking.

Do you also offer vegetarian recipes?

Yes! Many leftovers are plant-based (vegetables, grains, legumes, cheese, eggs…), and vegetarian recipes are often the most flexible. You’ll find plenty of them on this blog and in our app!
