      This is not the index for the actual book. Half the recipes indexed are not in this edition. The recipe on page 31 of my copy is "Basic Stock" and the entire book diverges from thereon.

  • Pasta with peas, cream, bacon and thyme

      Delicious, rich, and quick. Next time I'll cook the bacon first, then use the fat to cook the onion and garlic. I used fresh English peas and tossed them in towards the end of cooking the bacon to get them cooked a bit.

  • Turnip omelette

Publishers Text

Jocasta Innes shows that delicious and stylish cooking does not have to rely on expensive ingredients and that budget food does not mean simply opening a tin or a packet. Frugal and inventive tips on sensible shopping, using leftovers and creating home-made versions of store-bought favourites help to cut the costs at every stage. This well loved kitchen classic was originally published in 1971, a pioneering book in its use of cheaper cuts of meat, offal, pulses and veg, supplemented by foraged ingredients. It has been totally revised and updated to take into account the ever-increasing range of low-cost ingredients now available in local supermarkets, and is reissued here with a new cover design. More than 250 recipes, including soups, puddings and vegetarian meals, ranging from quick snacks to impressive party dishes, will suit every occasion and guarantee the tastiest results at the cheapest cost.
