A mother-of-five whose money-saving recipes help struggling parents feed their families for £20 a week has shared her top hacks for making food stretch that little bit further.
Lorna Cooper, 44, from Paisley near Glasgow, has 554,000 followers on her Facebook page where she regularly shares money-saving tips and homecooked meal ideas.
Having previously published a book called Feed Your Family For £20 A Week , Lorna is now releasing a follow-up - this time geared towards home cooks with limited time on their hands.
In Feed Your Family For £20 A Week In A Hurry, which contains 100 new recipes that can be prepared in less than 20 minutes, Lorna also shares her savvy shopping tips for conserving your pennies and how to store fresh produce to help it keep for longer.
Recipe
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°F/Gas Mark 4 and prepare any toppings you want to add to your pizza. Leftover cooked meat/veg are great for these.
2. Place the pitta breads on an oven tray, then spread a thin layer of tomato puree over the top of each one, going right up to the edges.
3. Sprinkle over the grated cheese, again going right up to the edges. Add your pizza toppings. You can arrange them in fun shapes (faces are always a hit) or sprinkle them evenly – it’s entirely up to you.
4. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
