My ninja possible pan- I use it everyday at least twice, the size and shape means that it’s perfect for cooking 4-5 servings at a time (which we love). These need to be from frontline professionals – such as your nearest Citizens Advice , health or social care workers, children’s centres, housing associations, advice charities, and mental health teams.Chapters include breakfasts, soups, salads and sides, 15 minutes or less, one-pot wonders, weeknight winners, fakeaways, and sweet treats.

I’m so grateful to have had the best team at Penguin Random House UK to create this book with - Sam Crisp, Demeter Scanlon, Alice King and the rest of the team at Ebury, thank you for making this the best experience! With smart budget-friendly swaps and simple tips, Beat the Budget is a fantastic resource that delivers reliable, affordable recipes that you will come back to again and again to feed yourself, your friends and your family.

A common mistake people often make with meal prep is trying to do it for every meal, seven days a week. Mimi’s recipes are healthy, accessible and bright, so we used an appetizing palette of bold colors along with chunky but easy to read fonts to present her catalog of over 300 recipes. But there’s no reason why you can’t use exactly the same resources – grab yourself a student cookbook or check out social media accounts and blogs like the Starving Student. Ich liebe dieses Buch, tolle Rezepte, nicht nur preiswert sondern auch einfach zu kochen und absolut lecker.

If you are using frozen ingredients, remember to check the packet instructions before adding to your freezer cycle. Cross-over ingredients- with more expensive ingredients, try and choose recipes where you can spread the cost of the ingredient over multiple recipes, which will reduce waste and cut costs. Taste of Home is the leading multi-platform producer of information on food, cooking, baking and entertaining, serving home cooks engaging media that capture the joy and comfort received from food made with love. Check out what’s available in your local supermarket – you can often get great deals on frozen meat, too.

Support our vendors this winter and beyond If you can't visit your local vendor on a regular basis, then the next best way to support them is with a subscription to the Big Issue. Mimi Harrison is a recipe developer and the content creator behind the rapidly growing Beat the Budget platform. It lists three meals a day, enough to feed two adults – but you can change the ingredients around and add more food to suit your household. I feel like if you can still eat delicious food that you won’t get bored of by implementing the freezer cycle, all the negatives of meal prepping can be eliminated.
