In these present times this modern single man must stretch his budget wisely but also eat well in the manner to which he's become accustomed. So this week I made a successful attempt at creating a lasagne dish that can be made, divided and then frozen. The result is something tasty, filling and also not heavy on the bank ...

Don't bin your stale bread. Here is the simple recipe for tasty, healthy and calorie rich breakfast. Cut your 1-2 day old leftover bread (baguette or any white bread) into cubes. I would not recommend wholemeal or any other variety of bread as they might not be so tasteful when boiled. Boil water in the kettle. Put bread in ... Read the complete review

My favourite low cost food always involves eggs as they are pretty cheap and quite versatile and my meal tonight fits in with the budget idea for this category. I do love to make omelettes and this is the one I made tonight. Firstly crack a couple of eggs into a bowl and wisk them together for a couple of minutes to break them ... Read the complete review

Hi Folks, It's recipe time again. This is a recipe I have used for over thiirty years. I shared a house many years ago with 3 other students and this is what we lived off most of the time. I usually cook this when cashflow is low or when I can' be bothered to go shopping as I generally have a tin of tuna in the cupboard. It ... Read the complete review

The other day I promised to try and bring you more recipes and mentioned that potatoes should be the new rock n roll now that the price of rice is increasing so much. Potato cakes can most often be found in Central or Eastern European cuisine but also exist in Irish, British and American cooking. I've become rather fond of ... Read the complete review

Like a lot of folk, I grew up on the joy of a decent Sunday dinner - a joint of meat, yorkshire puddings, new or mashed potatoes, vegetables, gravy... It's easy to let that slip when living alone. If there's just you it's an awful lot of food, and a worry about waste. This is however where leftovers come in. A bit of planning ... Read the complete review

I have struggled with knowing where to put this recipe. Due to the fact I have already written a poultry review I couldn't put it there. So, I have decided to put it in Budget recipes since chicken is pretty cheap! I'm sure that one or two people will decide to give me a 'somewhat useful' rating as a result, but such is ...

Now originally this 'review' was going to be about student cooking, but I figured cooking on a budget sounded better, and since some students are loaded (it's true!), I thought this title was more fitting. I do warn you in advance that some (most) of the recipes are not especially difficult, original, or elaborate - BUT (don't ... Read the complete review
