What do I do with leftover mascarpone? How can I use the last of my pesto? Can I use quark like cottage cheese? How else can I use hoisin sauce other than in stir-fries? When you purchase a bottle of spicy sauce, a packet of tapenade or an unusual ingredient you haven't tried before, it's good to know there is more than way it can enhance and add interest to a meal.
