The message is simple: excellent food is available at affordable prices. You just have to know what you're looking for - and where to find it.
Shrewd Food is the definitive guide. Inspired by the hugely popular website shrewdfood.ie, set up in 2009 by dedicated foodie and home-cook extraordinaire Elizabeth Carthy - who knows first-hand the challenges of feeding a family on a budget - this collection of over one hundred recipes for every occasion also includes information on:
Shopping for best-value and quality
Shrewd cooking tips
The shrewd cupboard
Seasonal cooking
Occasion cooking on a budget.
In easy-to-follow recipes containing fresh, affordable ingredients, Elizabeth shares with us her knowledge of traditional Irish cuisine - learned from her mother - to shrewd recipes from Europe and the East, gathered during her many years living abroad.
More than just a cookbook, Shrewd Food is a way of life.
