The batch is back! Bestselling author Suzanne Mulholland AKA The Batch Lady brings us a brand-new cookbook and this time she is going BIG on saving us some of our hard-earned money. 

Suzanne’s recipes have always been designed with economy in mind, so they should never break the bank but, in this book, she’s tightened up those costs further, giving us even more bang for our buck!

The magic of batch cooking isn’t, as many might think, just about cooking things in bulk. The magic is in being organised. No more panic buying on the way home, filling up your trolley with impulse buys or wasting food that doesn’t get eaten – Cooking on a Budget will help us to plan ahead to save time and money.

With food prices on the rise, more and more of us are finding that groceries are one of our biggest monthly spends, so why don’t we treat them the same as other major purchases? Reduce your monthly food and energy bills by planning what to buy, when to cook and what to freeze.

With a little planning and a dose of batching magic, you’ll be amazed at how you can hack away at those mammoth monthly bills and save yourself time in the process.

So, whether you’re a part of a huge family, a new parent, a student or living alone, let this book help take the stress out of the weekly shop and help you to get tasty meals on the table that everyone will love, whilst saving you some much-needed pennies in the process.
