Preface
The preface is short and personal; the author’s first professional job in the culinary world was in 1974 teaching cooking classes at the University of Cincinnati’s extension program. The most popular course was one titled Budget Buffet; at that time it was serving great dinners – from soup to dessert – for $2 per person. The preface sets forth the premise of the book: delicious and exciting meals need not be expensive; taste and healthy eating do not need to be sacrificed to keep food costs in check.
Introduction
The points covered in the introduction include the major themes of the book:
Chapter 1: Savvy Shopping
This chapter includes myriad ways to save money on grocery bills. Included among the topics are:
Chapter 2: Basics of the Cost-Busting Kitchen
Centuries before there was a can of “cream of something soup” to make casseroles, cooks were making white sauce to bind ingredients. Buying bottles of barbecue sauce or salad dressing is far more expensive than making these condiments yourself. Readers learn that rather than paying for the small pretty squeeze bottle of Thousand Island dressing, a few teaspoons of mayonnaise, a teaspoon of ketchup and a teaspoon of relish or chopped pickles produces the same result at a fraction of the price. Chicken stock ranges in price from $2.29 to $4 a quart, while for $2 it is possible to make six quarts of stock at home as well as using up bits and pieces of meat and vegetable trimmings otherwise destined for the garbage.
This chapter presents strategies for saving money on a continual basis, and then gives recipes for some commonly used items.
One important concept delineated in this chapter is “batch cooking.” In addition to saving time, this concept also saves money on utility bills because a few large items are cooked simultaneously at the same temperature. This is followed by instructions on how to adapt favorite recipes for cooking in a slow cooker, an appliance that saves energy as well as needing no tending while tenderizing foods.
