The Basics
Rich beef or veal stock can be easily made on a budget with bones and mirepoix. After your first batch of stock, you can use the bones again with fresh mirepoix and herbs to make a second, weaker, stock. Because of the gelatinous qualities of the stock, beef and veal stock can easily be reduced down to make a rich sauce called Demi-glace.
Stock can be frozen in small containers for use at a later time.
Creamy, tangy homemade ricotta cheese. This is a great way to use up left over milk, cream, or half and half, especially if it has spoiled some.
