Save hundreds of pounds on your food bills

Win a fantastic new cookbook

Honestly it’s true!

Did you know that we, as a nation, throw away around 7 million tonnes of food every year?

In financial terms that means the
average UK family wastes nearly £60
per month by throwing away food*.

However, by making a few simple changes to our habits, it is still possible to cook amazing, nutritious food more economically and less wastefully.

Fantastic Food For LessThis week we officially launch Fantastic Food for Less, a brilliant book packed with delicious recipes that use good quality, reasonably priced ingredients and have minimal leftovers. From tasty soups and snacks, to quick and easy main meals, and heavenly desserts, there is something to suit every taste and occasion.

There are two types of recipes: Quick & Easy, which can be on the table in 30 minutes or less, and Take it Easy, which allows you to do something else while they cook slowly.

And as with previous editions of the Dairy Cookbook series, Fantastic Food for Less features triple-tested recipes, simple to follow instructions, easy to source ingredients and full nutritional information.

Using good quality, affordable ingredients we’ll show you how to make fantastic food and reduce waste with careful shopping, clever storage and fabulous recipes. Leftovers are kept to a minimum with tips on how to use them up or store them. Everything is simple to cook, tastes delicious and won’t cost the earth.”

For 20 lucky people, we have a FREE Fantastic Food for Less

Good luck.

Handy boredom buster for your little ones plus a family-friendly cookie recipe.

Thankfully my children are not yet at the stage where I have to endure ‘Mum, I’m bored’.

However, we do sometimes seems to get stuck in a cycle of jigsaws, train track building, colouring and outdoor play (weather permitting).

I stumbled across this idea
on Facebook and I love it!

It doesn’t involve too much preparation – just half an hour – and can provide some new and exciting ideas for the children to enjoy.

We will definitely rename it ‘Mum/Dad what can we do?’ as dad does more of the childcare in our house than I do (these poor stay-at-home dads often get forgotten!)

Stephanie, its creator, has even given a downloadable list of ideas to put in the jar. They are great! Though I think I may miss ‘clean 1 toilet’ for my three year-olds!
