A city-homesteading approach to making more of everyday leftovers

Part of The Raw Milkmaid’s City Homesteader Series, this cookbook centers on repurposing foods that are often discarded or overlooked after a meal. French fries and tater tots, green salad, and days-old grilled burgers and hot dogs are named as starting points for new dishes with a restaurant-inspired ambition. The book’s premise connects leftover cooking with a city-homesteading household context, presenting reuse as a way to keep daily meals varied while working from familiar ingredients. Its focus stays on practical reinvention: taking prepared foods from previous meals and giving them a new role at the table.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home cooks seeking ideas for repurposing prepared leftovers
  • Fans of city-homesteading cooking projects
  • Cooks interested in restaurant-inspired takes on casual foods
