Soon, the âbigâ meal, with its inherent stress (the entire family peering through the oven door, murmuring, âDo you think that turkeyâs cooked yet?â), will be done and dusted. Boxing Day, if youâre in charge of the Christmas cooking, brings freedom.
December 26 presents so many leftovers â the overspill housed in the garage, the laundry room, wherever itâs cold enough â that you wonât have to shop for days. Transforming these into meals requires ideas more than recipes, but it can be hard to think of what to do beyond the pie you make every year or a pan of bubble and squeak.
