I had a chip butty (with shop-bought chips) when I got home after braving Dennis last night - first time in years and so tasty!

Bruschetta with tomato, basil, garlic and good olive oil is a go to - or sub the toast for spaghetti.

Green veg stir fry with peanut butter, soy, chilli, and lime.

Packet flavoured noodles with added spring onion, chilli, soy, lime etc.

Homemade humus and pitta!

Most food is cheaper to make if you have the basic ingredients and are prepared to learn a few skills. Certain types of meat and fish can be expensive, fresh herbs are but very easy to grow, fruit and veg out of season and making bread often isn’t economical but most everything else is very cheap. We managed to feed a family of 4 for under 300 a month with practically every meal cooked from scratch and at the same time taught the kids to make everything from bread, Italian, Indian, Chinese,

Chicken and rice.

Oven on. Baking tray with foil. Couple of generous scoops of philadelphia. Salt pepper little squirt of lemon juice.

Kettle on. 80g of long grain rice. Chicken stock cube in 1pint of hot water. Transfer to a pan onto a hob at low heat.

Dice one chicken breast and flash fry it for a few minutes each side. Add it onto the cream cheese foil and fold the sides to an enclosed parcel. Put in oven.

Watch the rice until its absorbed most of the water. Add 1/4 tin of corn. Keep stirring until hot and more water gone.

Pour the rice on a plate. Take chicken and cream cheese out of oven and on top of rice.

Sooooo nice and really cheap. Enjoy

One of the best things I've ever eaten was a cone of boiled, salted chick peas from a Moroccan street vendor after a surfing lesson.

Perfect.

Over 20 years ago I had some fried chickpeas from a guy at a railway station in India.

I've never managed to recreate them, try as I might. I suspect the secret was not changing the oil and letting the spices of a dozen different foods seep into it.

Having been in the Hotel industry for over 40 years, I recall one of the great Chefs of the 1970's-1980's, Anton Mosiman, who was Executive Head Chef of the Dorchester Hotel in London, remark about his favourite meal...

After toiling away in a hot Kitchen all day, serving up 5* food to guests, nothing was better than getting home to cook up Baked Beans on Toast, or Poached Eggs covered in melted Cheese on Toast.

As he said, "it's the simple food in life, that's the best!"

Eggs. Any way. I prefer poached or omelettes. You cant go wrong though, so versatile and so easy. And so cheap!
