Beggars' Banquets: Recipes to Impress Your Friends That Won't Break the Bank

by Marlena Spieler

This text is an imaginative recipe and ideas book that provides over 100 impressive but simple and cheap-to-produce recipes. There are menu suggestions throughout to help the reader put together an entire dinner party, and scattered throughout are boxes of money and time-saving tips. Because it is cheaper to buy food that is in season, the recipes are organised by season. Within each season are sections on starters and light dishes, main courses and desserts. There is also a special chapter of recipes that are economical to make all year round.
