Leanne Brown is a food-studies scholar who wrote a book, Good and Cheap, that enables people on very tight budgets (think food stamps) to eat healthfully and deliciously for approximately $4 per day. It is a free .pdf available on her web site, and a second run of paper books will happen some day - soon, we hope. Terry somehow found out about this book and we downloaded the .pdf to try it out.
Here's the thing. The very basic, staple food items that are affordable to those on a tight budget are also staple items that can either be found overseas or ship well. Also, the recipes use basic spices and simple pots, pans and casserole dishes - this should appeal to an audience who must carefully weigh (literally and figuratively) every kitchen appliance they want to have on hand. People like us. We have made three of the recipes so far - two have been completely delicious and one we plan to tinker with. Highly recommended.
