No, although I think that's how it's promoted, it has some good recipes in it - she cares about good food.
And I am used to substituting sensible things for trendy expensive ones. I am also quite unswayed by the latest fads, having seen many come & go.
It was just the chia seeds that threw me a bit. I don't have an Aldi nearby, but have to say that whilst Lidl are good value generally, they do over-price a few things.
Anywy, as I progress, I'll report in!

Do you have a H0meBargain$ near to you? They do pouches of whole chia seeds at £1.49 for 200g. Take it from me, 200g would make a lotta pudding.......

The pouches are usually where the fruit and nuts are, next to the crisps/pop-corn/cranberries/dried mango. Or sometimes they are nearer to the 'home baking' section, with the flaked almonds, dates and sugars. It does seem to depend on where the particular branch seems to put them. They also change the packaging - so I can't describe what to look out for - sorry!
EDIT: I've just looked at the pack I had and it was 'Natural Selection' brand. However, I bought it some time ago, and I know that our local HB have now got their own 'brand' chia seed packs - 'Bradburys'. HTH.
