Economy Gastronomy - new budget cookery programme; BBC

Just wondered how many bedrock recipes there are If we have 5 that means cook for 1 week and freeze enough for the following 3-4 weeks so get the meals done on the first week and have more time on the next few weeks

Allegra does a lot of the cooking on the Supersizers - love the way she is willing to have a go at war time rations followed by tudor poultry excess. My copy of the book has arrived today and it looks good.

I'm going to be a MSE and get the recipes from the website for now.:D

Not had much time to examine it (I'm at work you know :cool: ), but it does look as though all the advice is in there, plus every single recipe, plus a nice colour image of each, plus other tips like what to do with sad-looking fruit.

I paid £9 at Amazon and got my delivery free.

I hate cookbooks without good pics, I looked at the Delias Frugal Food, but I would never buy it because it doesn't have nice pics of the food.

I need to buy this book, don't I:D

I phoned my mom whilst the show was on and we both couldn't believe he was using macadamia nuts - they are really expensive - 11p a brownie!! I couldnt catch my breath lol. But i think its a good show as loads of people must over spend on their shopping and waste lots of food, maybe it will put them a step in the right direction.

Still can't belive he used macadamia nuts though . .

Saw tonight's programme but can't find the recipe for the pasties on the website.

Everything else is on there but not them.............anyone got it???

Well I finally saw the programmes and I have to say that overall Dr Dragon and I enjoyed them - and yes I think I could be getting the book just for some ideas! But like other people I find the people/man oon next week at the moment a little annoying!

I am watchign it on the iPlayer right now and that amazed me too - they are like the most expensive nuts ever! Can 11p per brownie really be accurate!? Seems unlikely given that they contain macadamias AND white chocolate chunks.

i bet if we worked out a typical OS brownie it would be 0.0005p each or something :rotfl:
