The idea was simple: Armed with a little knowledge and some inventive recipes, Americans receiving food stamps could use the allotted $4 per day to live a healthy and delicious diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe recipe collection was so popular that, in June, Leanne founded a Kickstarter campaign to self-publish copies of the book. Hundreds of thousands of people responded to her mission, and donations topped out at nearly $145,000. What Leanne had offered up was this: Buy a cookbook for yourself for $25, and she would donate another copy to someone who needs it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGood and Cheap\u003c\/em\u003e will expand upon the Kickstarter version of the book while maintaining the “Buy One, Give One” model. This edition includes 120 recipes, including Whole-Wheat Jalapeño Cheddar Scones, Creamy Zucchini Fettucine, Black-Eyed Peas and many more old and new recipes. Brown also shares information on how to plan and shop, how to stock your kitchen with basic tools, and spends a chapter on family cooking and big-batch meals. Each recipe gives approximate pricing per serving (in US$) and estimated total cost. Substitutions based on availability, taste, and price are encouraged throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the book is aimed as a guide to empower the 47 million Americans who try to get by on a budget of food stamps—plus the millions more who are being forced to get by on less—\u003cem\u003eGood and Cheap\u003c\/em\u003e is essential for Australians who desire a healthy lifestyle on a low budget. The book will not only change the life of those who buy it, but also those who will receive it thanks to the \"Buy One, Give One\" promise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48126894113004,"sku":"9780761184997","price":47.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780761184997-good-and-cheap.jpg?v=1785990220","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/good-and-cheap-by-leanne-brown-9780761184997","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
