Doing so is not only less wasteful, but it makes your pennies go further too. Turkey, beef, ham, vegetables, cheeses, cakes, puddings: the festive food list is almost endless. These are some of the main ingredients of a great Christmas or New Year dinner. But when you%u2019re catering for lots of people, you always have to prepare slightly more than you need, to avoid the embarrassment of running out of something. And that of course, means there will be some food left over after your guests have departed. But that%u2019s OK. Using excess food and ingredients means at least another meal for you %u2013 served cold, warmed up thoroughly or even cut up and used in a whole new dish.And with money tight and a general wish for less waste in the world, now is the time to investigate ways to use up your leftovers. Turn last night%u2019s dinner into today%u2019s lunch. And, moving into 2026, try to dedicate one night every week to using up leftovers from your fridge or freezer.In the meantime, have a go at our word search puzzle which contains some of your favourite dishes from around the world.Here%u2019s what you are looking for:%ufffd KEBAB%ufffd KIMCHI%ufffd LASAGNA%ufffd LOKUM%ufffd NAAN%ufffd PAD THAI%ufffd PAELLA%ufffd PEKING DUCK%ufffd PIZZA%ufffd POPIAH TOD%ufffd RAMEN%ufffd RATATOUILLE%ufffd SAMOSAS%ufffd SUSHI%ufffd TACOS%ufffd TAMALES%ufffd TEMPURA%ufffd TOM YUM
