So I stumbled across this new cook book and its called The Credit Crunch Cook Book. To me, it sounds great in principle, but I can’t understand how the content will be any different than that of a normal cook book, unless it makes such suggestions as:
- During the winter, store all refrigerated items outside.
- To save on ingredients, only cook half!
- etc etc
Personally, I believe cooking recipes from scratch is the cheapest way to cook, if you want to save money, change where you shop and cook from scratch. As I believe cooking a recipe from a bog standard recipe book will be just as cost effective as from this book. I shouldn’t really comment yet as its not published so I could end up eating my words (a very cost effective meal!!!). But I will keep you posted.
