SMART SHOPPERS BOOK CONTENTS
From DJ:
How to serve a sumptuous buffet for twelve for under $8. How to outwit your butcher and make him love you for doing it. How to make leftovers taste and look like a Four Seasons feast. Leave it to Loyta Wooding, former editorial manager of the Betty Crocker Kitchens, to come up with the definitive guide to great eating on a battle-fatigued budget.
With the inflation balloon showing no sign of descending, stretching the shrinking dollar would tax the ingenuity of the most intricate computer. Loyta Wooding applies her impressive experience in nutrition and food preparation to solving the dilemma of the gourmet-on-a-shoestring.
Here are dozens of pointers on how to shop with a purpose so that the food dollar will work down to the last penny. Even the most affluent of cooks will benefit from Mrs Wooding’s tips on mapping out meals in advance, making meat meals count, and meeting nutritional needs with low-cost dishes. She suggests how cooks can avoid being tempted into compulsive buying by a “friendly” companion, demanding child, or deductive advertiser. Mrs Wooding spares no one’s feelings about this problem of spreading the dollar around wisely. Feeding a family has become a ruthless business … but believe it or not, it can be fun with Mrs Wooding as guide.
Including are 450 recipes, kitchen tested by Mrs Wooding and her team of experts, and 125 menus that will intrigue the most blasé of cooks. All recipes are for four so that they can be doubled or halved easily. There are dozens of new ways to serve ground meat, including such exotic fare as “Meat Loaf Ricottaki,” “Beef Pielets Diablo,” and “Beef Vindaloo.” There are corned beef dinners, Chinese stew, meal-in-one roasts, hamburger Romanoff. There’s a whole chapter on avant-garde menus and illustrated charts for selecting cuts of beef, pork, lamb and veal. And, of course, Mrs Wooding’s tantalizing recipes for side dishes … soups, salads, vegetables, desserts … are legendary. These are economical, but beautiful! All in all, a mouth-watering collection of concoctions that will appeal to gourmets as well as bread-and-butter cooks.
