It’s mildly spicy (you can turn up the heat if you want to), rich, buttery and so fresh at the same time. Lnk is in my bio) It had been a while since I’d shown you guys one of the meal plans from the back of the book so here we gooo !

Inside, you’ll find hundreds of simply satisfying dinner ideas as well affordable desserts that end menus on a sweet note.I love them both but if I had to choose, I’d probably choose my airfryer as I love the crispy-ness that you can achieve with a minimal amount of oil. Mimi Harrison is a self-taught cook and recipe developer and, motivated by her experience of reaching for cheap and unhealthy food while studying at university, created her Beat the Budget blog and Instagram page to share recipes. Chapters include breakfasts, soups, salads and sides, 15 minutes or less, one-pot wonders, weeknight winners, fakeaways, and sweet treats.

These need to be from frontline professionals – such as your nearest Citizens Advice , health or social care workers, children’s centres, housing associations, advice charities, and mental health teams.

From the recipes to the meal plans and meal prep hacks, this book highlights all the tactics that I use to enjoy delicious food that doesn’t break the bank. But there’s no reason why you can’t use exactly the same resources – grab yourself a student cookbook or check out social media accounts and blogs like the Starving Student. They put leftovers to good use and are packed with frozen veg so you can eat healthy without splashing the cash. During her years at university, Mimi grew tired of relying on cheap and unhealthy food and decided to start her blog and Instagram platform to share recipes for delicious, healthy, and affordable food.Mimi even shared her top tips for people trying to budget when cooking, and her own personal favourite recipe from the book! Mimi Harrison is the recipe developer and content creator behind the popular Beat the Budget platform. Whatever your skill level, this book is here to help you put tasty, satisfying food on the table every day. I love how comforting a meal it is, yet every mouthful feels so fresh and vibrant, with the zingy ginger notes and the kick of lime, contrasting with creamy coconut rice.
