Country Cooking

Country cooking is more than just a single recipe. It's a way of being frugal with your grocery budget and of minimising food waste. It's about storing food when seasonal produce is at its cheapest and most nutritious, and of having a basic working pantry to see you through leaner times.

Country cooking is a mentality of using up the foods you have, before going shopping for more and of making use of every scrap of food.
