Delia's Frugal Food

First published in 1976 and never out of print and because of its popularity, Frugal Food was re-issued in 2008. 

As Delia says in the Introduction of the book, it is presented with minimal tweaking to retain its nostalgia, so that is one of the reasons the recipes on Delia Online don't all have photographs - but we think they are still helpful to anyone eating on a budget.

The Delia Online Cookery School: Macaroni au Gratin in this collection is an early version of a baked pasta dish. See how things have moved on in our video. Just click the image to play.
