Description

Cost of Living Crisis Cookbook

Real Food. Real Skills. Real Budgets.

This is not a celebrity cookbook.
It is a practical kitchen manual built on over four decades of cooking and nutrition experience and City and Guilds training, when apprenticeships meant something.

If food prices are rising, energy bills are climbing, and you are tired of being told to “just eat less” or “buy organic everything,” this book is the opposite of that noise. It focuses on skills, systems, and repeatable habits that lower food spend without lowering food quality.

You are not buying a handful of recipes.
You are buying a working toolkit for everyday cooking.
