Every recipe in the collection was developed with four objectives in mind: make it cheap, quick, simple, and tasty. Sam brings his signature charm and enthusiasm with 80+ creative recipes divided into practical chapters like Hangover Helpers, Monday Meal Prep and When Did I Last Eat a Vegetable?
A comprehensive basics section covers how to get started in the kitchen-basic chopping advice, how to plan your weekly shop so you don't break the bank, the importance of the pantry, advice on storing, freezing and defrosting leftovers, etc.-all presented with budget and space considerations in mind. Sam Holland has loved food from a young age. His culinary journey began by his Granny Tess's side, where he discovered the magic of food and the joy of preparing it with love.
