Description

Champion of the home cook, Donal Skehan, is back with a collection of tasty, easy-to-make dishes that cost less..
We all want to cook and eat great food, but without making a hefty dent in our wallets. In this, Donals third cookbook, he takes on the challenge of showing how easy and straightforward it is to enjoy delicious home-cooked food and spend less. Whether you a hungry student, are feeding a growing family or simple wish to save some money for a treat, Donals recipes will encourage everyone to enjoy satisfying yet affordable dishes.

Donals personality shines through on every page and he also draws on the knowledge and experience of others.

So Donal turns to his own family and grandparents, plus a range of experts such as butchers, fishmongers and grocers, to offer straightforward advice and inspired recipes.
