At a time when money worries are front-page news, Britain's most trusted cook, Delia Smith, is once again on hand with a wide range of tasty recipes that are cheap and easy to prepare.
Being frugal can be fun once you've learned a few simple tricks, among them:
buying fresh produce when it's in season
replacing more expensive ingredients with humbler alternatives
experimenting with different cuts of meat
being creative with leftovers.
