In tough times we still always crave good food, even if we have to cut down (or give up) eating out. In this book Tamasin Day-Lewis shows that eating really well is a pleasure that never has to be compromised no matter what your budget. Supper For a Song is a book for the clever cook in the cost-conscious kitchen. This is comfort food at its best: creamy risottos, robust pasta dishes and tasty, succulent slow-cooked stews made from inexpensive cuts. There are original ways to extend the Sunday roast - to make great soups and weekday suppers. Leftovers are transformed into generous bruschettas, exotic suppers, zingy salads and delectable puddings. A wonderfully indulgent baking chapter offers cookies, cakes and gooey puddings, and there is lots of chocolate for that essential comfort factor. Supper For a Song is not about hard-time thrift, it is the way to cook and enjoy food, making the most of the wealth of ingredients available to us. It is the food of the future.
