Three Delicious Family Recipes For Cooking on a Budget
Suzanne Mulholland, otherwise known as The Batch Lady, is back with a budget-busting cookbook filled with fresh and family-friendly meals
From sharing shish kebabs to veggie sausage stew, Suzanne shares three of her favourites - all of which can be made ahead and enjoyed whenever you need them.
Veggie Sausage and Chickpea Stew
This warming, one-pot dish is fragrant with the flavour of fennel and paprika. Chickpeas are a great ingredient for bulking out any kind of soup or stew, as they are cheap, tasty and add immediate heft to a meal.
Quick and Easy Sharing Shish Kebab
This is a brilliant meal to serve in the middle of the table and let everyone dig in. I love this kind of informal feasting, where everyone is leaning over each other and passing things around - it immediately makes any meal feel relaxed and fun.
