Product Description

Product Description

Jocasta Innes shows that delicious and stylish cooking does not have to rely on expensive ingredients and that budget food does not mean simply opening a tin or a packet. Thrifty tips on sensible shopping, using leftovers and creating home-made versions of store-bought favourites help to cut the costs at every stage. More than 250 international recipes, including soups, puddings and vegetarian meals, ranging from quick snacks to impressive party dishes, will suit every occasion and guarantee the tastiest results at the cheapest cost. First published in 1971, this well loved kitchen classic has been totally revised and updated to take into account the ever-increasing range of low-cost ingredients now available in local supermarkets.

About the Author

Jocasta Innes was born in China and by the age of 15 had visited nearly every continent in the world. With a background of travel, her approach to cooking and food is catholic and international. Today she is best known for her range of paints and chain interior decorating shops, Paint Magic. She is also the author of a string of books on housekeeping and home decorating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing & Nourishing, 15 April 2003
This review is from: The Pauper's Cookbook (Paperback)
This book exemplifies the requriements of a non-cook and gives valuable advice on not only what to cook, how to cook it but with what to cook it and what is required to cook it in! A recent (ancient) review described it as the essential item for a 1st year Uni student, existing on minimal means, who needs to eat to survive. Stuff the 1st year Uni person - it's real life!!
From my own experience I can reccomend the curried lentil soup and the most amazing 'padding' of toad in the hole et al.
A must for all who need to survive on a shoestring although, sadly, there is no advice on how to cook that item!!
Together with Hamlins All Colour Cook Book you need noting else to eat, give great dinner parties and live on a limited budget.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best cookbook money can buy!, 28 Oct 2008
By ELKV "EmmaBap" (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Pauper's Cookbook (Paperback)
My mother in law has a very old copy of this book and my husband raved on and on and on and on...... about it. After finally finding our own copy I gave it a look and fell in love with it's simplicity. We are now the proud owners of three!!!! copies, and the newest is an amalgam of the previous two. However, there are some notable abscences eg Irish Tea Brack and Ginger Bread Men. It's the kind of book which although it gives you a recipe to follow gives you the confidence to alter the ingredients to fit what you have in the cupboards. Thank you Jocasta Innes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fab food for the frugal cook but bad indexing, 9 Jun 2006
This review is from: The Pauper's Cookbook (Paperback)
An excellent cookbook. Worth buying for the Onion, Bacon and Potato Hotpot alone which a previous reviewer mentioned. The dish of herring roes and peas is also delicious, as is Alsation Onion Tart and Keema Matar.

It should be noted however, that this is not the original 1971 edition. Nor is it the 1992 edition The New Pauper's Cookbook. It is best described as an amalgam of the two books. I never saw the first book but I loved the second one and am even more delighted with this one, which seems to have all the recipes from the second book plus some wonderful offaly dishes from the original book.

I couldn't find the recipe for Flemish beef mentioned by another reviewer. This may be because it was in the earlier edition or it may be due to the book's one flaw - the index. I have never come across such an unhelpful index. I turned to it to look up an apple recipe to find that there were no entries listed for 'a' at all. I had to trawl through 'puddings' instead, and that wasn't very helpful, only listing recipes alphabetically by title not ingredient as well. Good indexes are vital in cookbooks.
