I apologize to everyone for my inconsistent posts recently. I've just returned from a trip home for Christmas and have some great new ideas and budgeting recipes.
Firstly, I received Jamie Oliver's new book " Jamie's Food Revolution". This book is incredible and is highly recommended. The basis of the book is to teach people how to make classics easily and while on a budget. Although some of the ingredients are not as commonly found in Canada or the US they are easily substituted with different foods. I tried two of his recipes for a new years party, Homemade Chicken Chow Mein and Sweet and Sour Pork. These recipes were incredible, budget friendly and super easy to put together. They didn't taste exactly like what you would get from take-away Chinese but I thought they were better. The only suggestions I had for the dishes after making them was that the Chow Mein needed a little more soy, and there were no changes for the Sweet and Sour Pork.
The book focuses on helping people make great gourmet dishes at lower costs. This week I'm going to try Camabert Pasta. It is simply baked Camabert Cheese with garlic and herbs poured on pasta. I'll let you know how it goes!
