Foreword

We love being part of Eat Well for Less because with every family we meet we face a new set of challenges to resolve, and we never quite know how its all going to unfold! Saving money is brilliant, but what we really love is seeing a family cook and eat together. Theres something magical about everyone sitting around a table, and it puts a smile on all their faces. So, what are you waiting for?!

Weve looked back through the series and pulled together a great selection of quick and easy recipes, all of which deliver tasty and nutritious meals that wont break the bank. Its time to eat well for less!

So many families we meet have fallen out of love with cooking, either because they cant find a meal that everyone will eat or because they feel there simply isnt enough time to cook from scratch. We hope this book will bring family mealtimes to life again and show that cooking can be fun, especially if you work together.

Some of the recipes here will show you how you can take a main dish and tweak it for those family members who are a bit fussy because, believe us, youre not alone! Nearly everyone has a fussy eater in their family and its our job to help you get everyone sitting down together. Cooking different meals for different family members needs to stop!

As we always say, a little planning goes a long way, especially when it comes to getting the family eating together, but it does mean you need to plan together, too. Use this book as the inspiration to sit down as a group and work out what recipes you might be able to tweak to make everybody happy.

Another area that really works with family eating is getting some batch cooking done. If you find you have some spare time, over the weekend perhaps, have a look at some of our recipes that freeze well and save yourself some valuable time in the long run. Serve that chilli with rice today, then leftovers can be a tasty baked potato topping another day when youre short of time. Remember, cook once, eat twice or three times, or even four!

One last word from us when youre doing your supermarket shop, just imagine were watching you make all your purchases what would we be saying?! And once youre home, why not try playing along and swap out some of your usual top branded products for better value alternatives? Just pop them into plain containers and see if the family notice you might be pleasantly surprised at just how much you can get away with!

Gregg Wallace and Chris Bavin

Getting kitchen confident

We all know that cooking from scratch is cheaper than buying ready prepared food, but putting this into practice when youre new to cooking can feel a little daunting. Fear not though, its not difficult if you keep it simple to start with and build your confidence before you move on to trickier dishes. Remember, at this stage what you dish up doesnt have to look perfect. As long as it tastes ok and is edible, its a success, not a disaster!

First up, what are you going to cook? Start with simple, tried-and-tested recipes from trusted websites and this book! and, more importantly, pick something that looks appealing and that you think you will all want to eat. Dont attempt recipes that use unusual ingredients until you have developed your skills and feel confident to step outside your comfort zone. Its also a good idea to choose recipes that use only a few ingredients, as long lists of ingredients can be off-putting and send you straight to the ready-made jars and sauces in a panic.

Before you hit the shops, check your cupboards/fridge/freezer, then make a list of what you need and the relevant quantities of each ingredient. Remember all the planning advice think about what youre cooking and when, and dont attempt to cook something new or tricky when youre short of time, otherwise you may get flustered.

Tip

Dont waste money on pre-prepared vegetables or fruit; peeling and chopping take just a few minutes and whole ingredients are much cheaper. Pre-chopped ingredients also deteriorate more quickly in your fridge; their cut surfaces are exposed to the air and will dry out, losing flavour and texture.

Get everything ready

Right, so are you armed with ingredients and a trusty recipe? Youre almost ready to get started, just have a quick look at this list first

Organise your kitchen cupboards so you know where everything is, and try to keep them this way as it will make your cooking in a hurry really easy.

Clear the work surface of any unnecessary clutter and give it a good wipe clean.

Sharpen your kitchen knives, and check them regularly. Blunt tools make food preparation much harder, plus they are potentially more dangerous to use.

Remove any butter, eggs, etc., from the fridge to soften or warm up to room temperature if the recipe recommends it.

If the recipe tells you to preheat the oven at the beginning, turn it on now. Grease and line any tins at the start, too.

If youre using frozen ingredients, check with the recipe if they should be defrosted first. If so, you might need to build in time for this, or carefully defrost them in a microwave oven, if you have one. This is particularly important for meat, chicken or fish, however, vegetables will defrost quickly during cooking.

Read the recipe properly and get out all the ingredients and equipment you are going to need, to save you digging around in the fridge or cupboards halfway through cooking. If you are missing an ingredient, see if its something you can easily substitute with something you do have.

If your kitchen bin isnt right by your work surface, keep a large bowl to one side to chuck in waste wrappers and peelings, etc., as you cook. This makes it much easier to clear up at the end.

Cooks note

Unless otherwise specified, all milk used in the recipes is semi-skimmed.

When using salt for seasoning, the maximum amount should be tsp.

Get cooking

So, its time to get cooking. Wash your hands and tie back long hair, then put on a clean apron to protect your clothes this could get messy!
