Thanks Rachel and I agree with you about the difficulties of feeding just one person. My budget is now set for $120 for four people for ONE week (not two weeks) so I think $60 for you is very realistic. Don’t be too concerned if it takes you a few weeks to bring your budget down, some things take longer to implement (like finding a wholesaler, or using up your pnatry items). Sometimes it takes a little while, but I know you will save. All the best. xx

Given the price they charge in the shops, who knew it could be so easy. I love almost all offal and will be giving this one a go.

I saw your book in Target last night, and sat down right there to read the first pages (Yay! Target now provides seats!). Too late for this fortnight, but I will definitely be purchasing your book before my next shopping trip. I live alone and find it very hard to eat cheap as I can’t buy a lot of things in bulk. If you can feed a family of 4 14 meals on $120, then with some modification I should be able to feed myself on $60. I’m certainly willing to try.

Thank you for putting your ideas out there, both on the site and in the book.

Yum, I love a good vege burger! And I can’t imagine a better combination than mushrooms and haloumi.

Hi Sandra

I’m always on the lookout for handy potato recipes. I made this yesterday in the slow cooker. It was in for less than two hours, next time I will give it three.

Excellent indeed. My panel of food critics (two kids) gobbled it up.

Comment on Something Special – Blood Plum Terrine by Sandra

I’ve thought of the yin/yang symbol as well, but don’t have the craft nous to do it – using a sheet of sturdy acetate would be your best bet if you wanted to give it a go.

The taste is more like jelly and mousse and quite tart, but very refreshing on a warm evening.
