We all know that times are getting tough. Food, energy and transportation prices have all gone up substantially. Cookbook's addressing this fact are doing well, or going to do well. That's one reason Delia Smith, the famous British cookbook author, is re-issuing her classic 1970's cookbook, Frugal Food.This cookbook is chock full of inexpensive recipes and energy saving tips. There's a whole chapter dedicated to 'Pauper's Puddings" and includes the "cheap charter", which talks about how to use leftovers creatively among other things. There is also advice about using offal, unfashionable cuts of meat or kinds of fish, and also how to "conjure up the maximum flavour from the most frugal of ingredients".
The re-issued cookbook is coming out on October 30 for £17.99 ($36-ish in Us dollars). Some have suggested, though, just getting a copy of the original printing of the cookbook for half that amount. I found it on Amazon.com for $15.
