My personal favourites are in a constant state of change, depending on my mood or the season, but will almost always include tinned tomatoes and barbecued chicken. Anchovies and curry paste. Coconut milk and feta. Dried pasta and instant polenta. Tofu and soy sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo often, the ingredients we bought for a recipe simply hang around, untouched or forgotten, in our fridge, freezer, or pantry. We buy them for a recipe that only calls for a quarter of a tin or half a packet. Or we keep them ready for a culinary experiment that never eventuates. Or we simply can't eat them quickly enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBread—stale, of course—is a case in point. Let's face it, 'stale' is what happens to bread. And the better the bread, the quicker it stales. (Don't worry—fresh bread doesn't make for good crumbing!) You may be wondering why I have so enthusiastically included stale bread as an ingredient in this book. The simple reason is that frugality is back, baby. But being 'economical' is \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e about being stingy. Quite the opposite—it is all about being creative, thoughtful, and resourceful. Here, I've used stale bread in recipes for pasta with chilli crumbs, crumbed prawns with plum sauce, and parmesan and herb crumbed lamb cutlets. I encourage you (actually—I implore you) to explore \u003ci\u003eat least\u003c\/i\u003e three other ways with this thrifty and versatile one-hundredth ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is not about reinventing your pantry.
