Sound familiar?

The grocery bill keeps going up, but you're buying the same things.
Most recipes feed a family of five, and you're cooking for one or two.
Half the leftovers end up in the bin.
Cookbooks are full of ingredients you can't find at your local shop.

This book fixes all four. Every dinner uses everyday ingredients, costs a few dollars a serve, and tells you how to halve it or freeze it in portions. Every trick tells you why it works, so you can cook with confidence instead of following recipes to the letter.

The honest maths

One takeaway dinner for one

~$20

One of Nan's dinners

~$2.50 a serve

Cook three of Nan's dinners instead of buying takeaway, and the book has paid for itself.

A note from Nan

"There's nothing fancy in here. Mince, snags, chicken thighs, tinned tomatoes, spuds and frozen peas. Plain food. But plain food done right is a very different thing from plain food done badly, and the difference is usually one small step. Every trick and every recipe comes with the reason behind it. Once you know the why, a few dollars goes a very long way."
