"A busy family household is often short on time and money. The weekly food shop can be a stressful time when you are wondering how you can feed your family good, honest food without exceeding the weekly budget. Living on a budget, or trying to reduce your outgoings, doesn't have to mean forgoing cooking and eating good food though. Thrifty tips will guide you through how to make the most of your ingredients and create wonderful family food for all mealtimes. Enjoy some budget breakfasts such as Baked Eggs or Corned Beef Hash before moving on to some purse-friendly soups and salads for lunch. The main meal of the day no longer needs to empty the bank, so instead delve in to some quick and easy dishes such as Thai Salmon Fish Cakes or Quick Vegetable Curry. Treats don't have to be ignored in favour of saving pennies either--whip up some quick treats such as Iced Summer Berries with Hot White Chocolate Sauce or Banana Fritters. The Thrifty Cookbook has all the inspiration you need to produce fantastic food, in super quick time, for the whole family even when you've had to tighten the household purse strings."-- Publisher's website.
