A book that rediscovers the lost habit of thrift through a wealth of fantastic recipes. For anyone and everyone who tries not to spend too much and cut out waste, here are wonderful ideas for making the most of everything that you buy. There are notes for using up spare ingredients and leftover food; tips on storage and selection; and most imprssive of all, it’s all packaged within the framework of one of the most eminently cookable collection of recipes out this year. A full glossary of ingredients makes for an indispensable guide to careful selection of the food you buy and cross-referring it to dishes from within the book. The Frugal Cook promises to be the sort of kitchen manual that you really can’t afford to be without.
