Vegan on the Cheap
I purchased this book along with The 30 Minute Vegan on Amazon.com. I actually own the Vegan Planet, another cookbook written by Robin Robertson. I am very cheap and am very budget oriented so I really do enjoy this book. If you are new to the concept of budgetting this would be a great resource for you. Robertson does an great job of breaking things down and explaining the benefits of budgeting yourgrocery list. She gives a lot of tips that definitely have helped me to stretch my food budget even more. For example measuring of and freezing whatever tomato paste I have left over and freezing it in tablespoon portions. I have also cooked up different varities of her Pot O’ Beans and frozen them in half cup portions. Both save me lots of time and money, no more purchasing a bunch of canned goods everytime I shop.
The recipes themselves are also delicious. One of the nice things she does is breaks down the price per portion on each recipe. I have cut down on my luxury items thanks to her recipes like Big Stick Peperoni and quick versions of Seitan for recipes. Buying premade vegan foods can be very expensive and making them yourself doesn’t take very long at all. Plus I can season things however I want! This book is a steal, I got a copy for under thirteen bucks. I would definitely check out this book if you can especailly if your looking for big taste on a little budget.
