Eat Vegan on $4 A Day

Eating well doesnt have to break the bank! By learning how to be a savvy shopper, you can make ends meet and replace expensive processed foods with high quality, readily available ingredients. In her new book, award winning reporter and journalist Ellen Jaffe Jones offers a game plan for the budget conscious cook. Jones scoured the shelves of popular supermarkets and big-box stores to calculate how to eat three nutritious, delicious, satisfying meals for no more than 4 a day per person. Each recipe displays the cost per serving allowing home chefs planning daily and weekly menus to stay within their budgets. Non-vegans incorporating a few of these meatless meals at a time into weekly menus will increase their intake of health-enhancing foods as well as save money. From soups and salads to entrées and desserts, the flavors are as impressive as the savings. Jones offers tips on financial planning for food shopping, a basic review of plant-based nutrition and cooking, and a look at the hidden food-industry politics behind grocery store pricing and product placement. EAT VEGAN ON 4 A DAY shows how to trim food bills while maximizing nutrition. This cookbook is the perfect recipe for a great tasting, economically viable diet.
