MasterChef winner Kenny Tutt’s tips for wasting less food this Christmas

Christmas is a time of indulgence, celebration and generosity – which might explain the pile of roast potatoes that could feed an army when there’s only six of you around the table. And this festive season, it might be tempting to go even more over the top if you didn’t see family members last year.
