Good food is often thought to be expensive, perhaps because people assume that good food means rich food. Following the general recommendations of this book, which advise us to eat less fatty meat, use less fat and salt and eat more cereals, pulses and seasonal, fruits and vegetables, will undoubtedly help you to economize on your food bills (not to mention the doctor’s bills!).

The Garden

One can save several dollars a week by growing a few seasonal vegetables. The outstanding freshness of home-grown vegetables is something to treasure. Children love to help you in the garden and will learn how to grow things for themselves. Favorite herbs, like parsley, thyme, rosemary, chives and basil, are easy to grow in pots and can be used as a substitute for salt to season many dishes.
