Brilliant Budget-Friendly Recipes
Whether you're cooking for one or trying to feed a crowd, learn how to use up leftovers, knock out showstoppers and still have cash to spare
From store-cupboard dinners to inventive family feasts, Friday night fake-aways to Sunday roasts, here are three of our favourite recipes from The Skint Cook.
Five Spice Duck Legs with a Sesame Salad and Crispy 'Seaweed'
Such a nice dish. You have the crispy duck skin and tender meat. The sesame salad cuts through the fattiness of the duck so perfectly, contrasting flavour at the highest level. I love it. Adding the crispy seaweed gives it a restaurant vibe!

Mexican-Style Braised Pork Shoulder Steaks
Such an easy maintenance dish. Easy prep. Once in the oven, you're pretty much free to do anything for a few hours, and the smells coming from the oven are divine.

Blackberry Fool and Ginger Nut Topping
The cream cheese gives this such a silky smooth feeling. Topped with ginger nut biscuits adds texture. Spot on.
