RECIPES JACK MONROE PHOTOGRAPHS MIKE ENGLISH EDITED BY DANIELLE WOODWARD
Jack Monroe writes with honesty, humour and a no-nonsense style, which is exactly what you want when money is tight and what you have in the cupboard and fridge is uninspiring! She will change your outlook on food and cooking; in her eyes, there is nothing that can’t be substituted, improvised or adapted to make full use of whatever you have to hand. She says: ‘My mission is simple: cooking on a budget needn’t be gruel and gastronomic flagellation. It can be sumptuous. It can be nourishing. It can be devastatingly delicious. It can be achievable. It can be all of these things with the smallest of kitchens and the simplest of equipment and absolutely no skills whatsoever. It can be yours.’
