This is gravy making magic in a jar. It’s frozen potato cooking water from the last time I made mashed potatoes. It’ll go into the gravy I’m making today for pork chops with roasted potatoes. Great way to build flavour & reduce kitchen waste. #gravymaking #potatowater #reducekitchenwaste #kitchenwastereduction #lowwastekitchen I just published a roundup of 14 recipes featuring chocolate — luscious chocolate — for Valentine’s Day.
