The biggest savings in our house don’t necessarily come from choosing the cheapest ingredients. They come from choosing dinners that actually make sense for real life – recipes made with regular supermarket ingredients, meals that don’t require three different sauces I’ll never use again, and food my family actually wants to eat. Because I’ve learnt that the expensive part isn’t always what goes into the trolley. It’s buying everything for dinner, getting to 5 pm, deciding it all feels too hard and ordering takeaway anyway. 🫠 These eight dinners all come in under $20, but they’re the kind of food I’d make regardless of the price – simple ingredients, proper dinners and hopefully a grocery shop that works a little harder for you.
And there’s something else special about this collection: every recipe is from my new cookbook, Simple Weeknights. They’re all available on my website now, so consider this a little sneak peek at what’s inside the book! Simple Weeknights is available worldwide to pre-order now and starts shipping from next month.
