I came back to this review again since Hilary mentioned it again recently. If only my cookbook shelf had a bit more room on it I would buy this. I am a huge fan of healthy baking with veg (I just love veg soo much! honestly!). Thanks again for your comments. Maybe it could be my half-birthday present to myself??

[...] The Thrifty Cookbook is, then, a sort of manifesto. The first two chapters, What’s Thrifty Cooking? and How to Waste Less Food lay the groundwork: a shocking amount of food is wasted every year from ordinary kitchens, simply because people don’t know what to do with it. The 14 chapters that follow put those ideas into practice, and include the expected Some Basics, Soups, Pies, Tarts and Pizzas and Eggs and Cheese, but also chapters like Things to do with Bread and Fruit Past its Best.

Comment on The New Family Bread Book by Sue

I borrowed this book from the library yesterday & so far the French potato bread rolls are to die for, the quick individual gingerbreads didn’t mix together very well but taste divine, ( not sure why they would be in this book though?) & the treacle & date bread is very salty. I did wonder about 1 tblsp salt but decided to go with it, wish I had reduced it now. Also I made into rolls & kneaded in some dried fruit as I hadn’t any dates!! I would make alll again but watch the salt quantity carefully. I am used to making bread both by hand & machine, & these recipes so far have proved to give a lighter result than I produced before. Then again maybe I’m kneading for longer than I used to as I’m following a recipe!
