Only Had Fridge Leftovers… Somehow Made This

I raided the fridge and challenged myself to cook using only what I had — no shopping, no plan. Just a bunch of genuinely leftover bits I brought from the house fridge into the garden kitchen… and somehow turned into three proper meals.

From a cheesy pesto toastie with mustard and a fried egg, to a sausage pasta bake, and a Mediterranean-style traybake with chicken, halloumi, and tahini — it all came together surprisingly well. If you've ever stared into your fridge wondering what to do with half-used bits, this is your sign to give it a go.
