The Prudent Chef: Eat Well for Less

By Darius Redmond

The grocery bill keeps climbing. The paycheck doesn't.

The Prudent Chef is a cookbook for people who need real answers right now -- not recipes that assume a full pantry, a working oven, or money to spare.

- 150 recipes built from the cheapest shelf-stable ingredients available at any grocery store.

- Feeds people on almost nothing: Water soup, bean and rice meals, biscuits from lard and flour, gravies from three ingredients.

- Includes a complete survival pantry guide

- Honest chapters for hard situations

- Emergency food for pets, and instructions for growing fresh food from a mason jar and dried beans.

-No specialty ingredients. No assumed experience. No judgment.

This is the food that kept families alive through the Depression, two World Wars, and every hard stretch in between.

It still works.
