Simply Eating on a Budget
About this book
Eat well, cooking for one
You do not need a big grocery budget to eat well — you need the right companion. Simply Eating on a Budget is a warm, practical guide for anyone cooking for one: perhaps for the first time in decades, perhaps since the household got smaller, perhaps simply tired of recipes written for someone else’s energy, budget and kitchen.
This is not a diet book and it is not a lecture. It is a companion for eating genuinely well — meals you look forward to — without overspending or overwhelming yourself. Inside there is a pantry guide, budget shopping strategies that work in a real supermarket, a simple weekly planning method, and a ready-to-use four-week menu plan.
It also takes the hard days seriously. There are honest, kind strategies for when cooking is the last thing you have in you, alongside ten more substantial recipes for when you want to slow down and enjoy the process.
