The Christmas food shop – that last minute dash out of the supermarket with a trolley so full you can’t see over the top to steer the wonky wheels! You’ve got enough to feed your whole family and probably Santa, all his little helpers, Rudolph and the rest of the Reindeers as well. And then, come Boxing Day, you’ve still got mountains of mince pies, sacks of satsumas and little inspiration for what to do with the turkey leftovers. Sound familiar? Masterchef Paul Da-Costa-Greaves has joined forces with Don’t let Devon go to waste to offer some top tips and recipes to make Christmas food go further.

Paul has pulled together a selection of his favourite Christmas ‘recipes’, all containing easy waste saving ideas to help combat the estimated 230,000 tonnes of festive food thrown away each year.

Paul said: “I’m pleased to join together with Don’t let Devon go to waste in the Love Christmas, hate waste campaign to give people ideas on how to reduce food waste with an alternative twist. For example I show you how to make a Crunchy Topped Sprouts dish using leftovers from the Christmas nut selection – so tasty the kids will be asking for more and Christmas Pudding Ice Cream. All you need is your left over pud, some custard and your freezer!”.
