    flea72 I was wondering exactly the same thing, my husband suggested maybe it is 5 meals for couples Mon-Fri, and then 2 weekend meals for 4 when they have family visiting. :confused:I still think though that the recipes should all have been for 4, it is a bit misleading as some will no way stretch even to an include 2 small children, better to have quantities for 4 and then half everything if you need it for 2. It would obviously have meant they couldn't keep the basket to £25 though hehehe :D
    Yes M&S mean dinner when they say supper, at least I think they do!

    I remember when this came out, it was discussed on the OS board and I think the general consensus was: if you like the recipes try them, if not then there's not much there. It's maybe a start for people just beginning with meal planning, but there are better sites out there.
    Here's a thread from the OS board.

    This site is about a book "The Kitchen Revolution" which gives you recipes and shopping lists for every week of the year! While it's not complete (you have to buy the book :rolleyes:) the principles it uses are quite useful, and well worth a read.
