New softcover book, published 2013, 160 pages
Problem:
1 in 5 bags of groceries bought by Australians and New Zealanders will end up in the bin. This translates to from every 0 spent going to waste!
Solution:
Kim's aim with 4 Ingredients Menu Planning was to create a "kitchen bible" that simplifies this task. She has split a week into days, and attributed names to each day, keeping it practical and fun - that's right, Wednesday has never been the same now we know it as - Easy Freezy Wednesday! Or her personal favourites: Meals in Minutes Tuesday and Thrifty Thursday!
To save time and money in the kitchen, she cannot stress enough the importance of sitting down each week and creating a simple menu plan. Extracting from it the ingredients you don't have and then simply shopping for the ones you need.
Then each time that relentless question What's 4 dinner? arises, with assured clarity you can answer Check the Menu Plan, dear!
