Pre-Holiday Bingeing

It's always entertaining using up the perishables in your pantry and fridge prior to a holiday. The aim of the game is to minimise the quantity of food that might expire while you're away, and to maximise the amount in your stomach. With a week to go, it's still possible to eat relatively normally, with a little attention to what ingredients are available when you decide on your meals. But in the final days, craziness reigns. You find you're left with a tub of whipped cream, some pitted prunes, three croissants, a fennel and some caramelised onion and a pack of marshmellows. I feel I'm on a Masterchef mystery box challenge, but without the skill to combine the ingredients into anything edible.

    1. Whoops. That is so embarrassing ! How did my team of proof-readers let that slip through?
