Horse meat scandal! Are the supermarkets the only people to blame? In 1948 there was a horse meat scandal, the same year the NHS was introduced to Britons. In 2013, there is a horse meat scandal, the same year the NHS is being sliced up to the private sector - perhaps this is due to our current austerity program, and it is a ... Read the complete review

No house is complete without it's share of Horse meat it would appear, Oh ugh! I here you all cry, but just think about it for a minute. We all eat Cow, Lamb, Rabbit, Chicken, Pork and various other meats Why then do we baulk at the poor old horse. If we were not told about it we would have quite happily kept on eating our Findus ...

I got this recipe off a Nigel Slater show and slightly adapted it, and it is one that I find extremely tasty every time I make it. It's a lovely, cosy, warming recipe coming into the colder months. This is a recipe for 4 people, but of course you can alter the amounts of sausages and veg according to ... Read the complete review

I don't actually have a name for this dish. And it's actually one of my girlfriends sisters creations, so sorry Sarah. This dish can feed a family of four. I don't have any quantities but you can change it around to suit the amount that you want. This dish is healthy, easy to make and quite cheap. And here is how you make it: Fry an ...

It's getting colder and I've started making those meals associated with winter weather. I like to think I am good in the kitchen but still I feel a bit limited in my recipes. I have tons of cook books but never seem to make very many of the recipes in them. In the run up to Christmas the budget seems to get a bit tight and with our rent ... Read the complete review

One thing that is always in our freezer or fridge is beef mince. I find it incredibly versatile whether I'm cooking a chilli, lasagne, cottage pie etc. I've always found beef mince good value but currently during this horrible economic downturn saving the pennies is incredibly important (especially as there is a baby on the way!).

This is a recipe for lasagne, using my favourite meat..minced beef! I have beef in lots of different meals such as chilli, spaghetti bolognase, shephards pie or burritos. I love this meat, it isnt expensive and you can do so much with it. Lasagne is quite a heathy meal, and it is so easy to make! You will need an oven proof dish, quite ... Read the complete review

For me, there's nothing better than a good steak and chips, especially from the local pub. However, with the pennies being a bit tight at present, there hasn't been many occasions where we have been able to visit the pub for a meal so it's home cooked food instead. A good cut of steak is obviously quite expensive. I am not generally a ... Read the complete review

Recently I've been trying to budget and cut down on my weekly shop. One good move I made was to try Tesco Value mince beef (much cheaper than Tesco's own mince). I have found it to be good value for money. The package is standard, as you would expect from Tesco Value products, but the mince itself is ok. I've found it good to use in ...

I've done a few stews with Tesco Value stewing meat and they've all come out good so I thought I'd try a pack of their frying steak, the pack I got had 3 steaks and cost about £2.98. There wasn't a mad amount of fat on them, no more than you get on the outside of any other steak that you pay more for. I cut most of it off ... Read the complete review

Having recently started Maternity leave, my other half and I have been trying to keep our food shopping bills low but without compromising on the quality of the items that we bought. We recently decided to give the Tesco Value Beef Mince a try. It was then on offer for just 50p for a pack (however I believe it is now £1.21 for 500g... ... Read the complete review

Intro ----- I definately think that beef mince is one of those products that tastes pretty similar no matter how much you spend on it. Therefore, it makes sense, when trying to save money, to cut down on this type of product and try to make some big savings. I was impressed with both the taste and freshness of this ...
