Food left? You can do this with the leftovers

Clever cooking with leftovers from Christmas dinner.

1. Give your guests food
Perhaps your guests will be happy with a bowl of soup, a piece of meat or the leftover quiche. That way you don't end up with the leftovers and you don't have to throw anything away.

2. See what you can freeze If you have a lot left over, you won't eat it all tomorrow. See which dishes or sauces you can freeze in portions.

3. Process leftovers into dishes
