By showing that kitchen skill, and not budget, is the key to great food, Good and Cheap will help you eat well really well on the strictest of budgets.
Created for people who have to watch every dollar but particularly those living on the U.S. food stamp allotment of $4.00 a day Good and Cheap is a cookbook filled with delicious, healthful recipes backed by ideas that will make everyone who uses it a better cook.

Plus there are tips on shopping smartly and the minimal equipment needed to cook successfully.
