In the new series, TV chef Nadiya Hussain is “showing the country how you can make your ingredients stretch further than you could ever imagine by sharing recipes that align with her philosophy ‘cook once and eat twice’.”
Each week Nadiya will cook two inventive ‘Cook Once, Eat Twice’ recipes. The first being a classic Nadiya recipe and the second being a quickfire recipe that is created using the leftovers. Across the rest of the programme there will be three more recipes offering solutions of how to cook more efficiently and economically,

I love the challenge of creating a meal out of food scraps or giving our leftovers a new lease of life. It’s so much fun and it makes me feel good about the food I feed my family.”
