Efficiencies are well rewarded in the Bite kitchen. The boss loves them because they help the company budget and we love them because they help with our food budgets at home too. Who doesn't feel good when they've made a chicken go five meals (yes, five might be pushing it at bit) or incorporated a couple of leftover sausages from the weekend's barbecue into a midweek salad?
My favourite are dinner dishes that impress but cost very little per head thanks to the garden bounty and in-store specials that week. You can find recipes to help with such efficiencies on bite.co.nz this week. They are the sort of recipes that students and flatties or any cook that has to keep a careful eye on the budget will thank you for.
