    Tiny Budget Cooking - Limahl Asmall

    What’s in Store?

    THIS WEEK’S MEALPLAN will take you on a journey across the globe, You’ll find gorgeous marinades and warm spices from the Middle East; tantalizing aromas and the rich depth of flavour from India; juicy tomatoes, succulent chicken and soft butter beans from Italy; and the mouth-watering soy, garlic and ginger trinity from Asian cooking.

    One of my favourites this week is the Meatball Marinara (see here). You can make incredibly light and juicy meatballs from pork sausages and cannellini beans in only 30 minutes. You’ve got to try them! I’ve also included a couple of comfort classics, because we all need the occasional treat – anyone for fluffy blueberry pancakes and creamy sausage spaghetti?

    The lists opposite include all you need to make recipes for two people for a week. Don’t forget to read my Top 10 Tiny Budget Tips here before you go shopping, as they can help you save money. Basic ingredients are not included in these shopping lists so make sure you always have chicken, beef or vegetable stock cubes, salt and pepper, caster sugar and olive oil at home.

    Happy cooking!
