| The credit crunch is having a massive impact on what we eat. The average family's annual food bill went up by £1000 last year. As the recession forces us to tighten our belts, are we really going to have to face months of grim news with nothing but grim food to sustain us? The answer  is 'no!' Top chefs Allegra McEvedy and Paul Merrett not only show us how to cut our food bills in half, but how we can eat like royalty at the same time. "Economy Gastronomy" is about planning ahead, shopping well, spending less and using ingredients ingeniously to create flavour-packed food every day. The 100 delicious recipes cover breakfasts and lunches, snacks and treats, with chapters to show you how to achieve expensive-looking meals without spending a fortune so you can entertain in style and make something from nothing. Detailed recipes reveal versatile skills you can use in a range of recipes. Form meal planning to seasonal shopping, from loving leftovers to store-cupboard basics, the economy gastronomy system combines traditional skills with restaurant flair. So we want to slash our weekly food bill? Would you like to know how to feed your friends and family delicious food without breaking the bank?
