The Frugal Cook


Book Description

The lost art of thrift is rediscovered in this cookbook through a wealth of fantastic recipes, from budget breakfasts--Spring Vegetable Frittata or French Toast with Polish Cherries--to easy midweek suppers, such as Thai Beef Salad or Linguine with Stilton and Onion. In a time where about a third of all the food purchased is thrown out, this book is ideal for anyone who is eager to cut out waste and make the most of everything they buy. With a full glossary of ingredients and ideas for how to use them up, as well as a myriad of thrifty tips that promise to transform even the most sorry leftover into an inventive and tasty meal, this is a kitchen manual that no home can afford to be without.




The Migrants Table


Book Description

To most of us the food that we associate with home-our national and familial homes-is an essential part of our cultural heritage.

Cornish Recipes...Ancient and Modern


Book Description

This book collects together Cornish recipes, many of them now forgotten, from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. The recipes were brought together by the Cornwall Federation of Women's Institutes, and were first published in 1929. The recipes range from the comforting to the bizarre to the dangerous to the downright illegal, but together they form a fascinating record of Cornish domestic life over two centuries.
