"A cookbook filled with delicious, healthful recipes created for everyone on a tight budget. While studying food policy at university, Leanne Brown asked a simple question: How well can a person eat on the $4 a day given by the U.S. government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program informally known as food stamps? The answer is surprisingly well: Broiled Tilapia with Lime, Spicy Pulled Pork, Green Chile and Cheddar Quesadillas, Vegetable Jambalaya, Beet and Chickpea Salad -- even desserts like Coconut Chocolate Cookies and Peach Coffee Cake. In addition to creating nutritious recipes that maximize every ingredient and use economical cooking methods, Ms. Brown gives tips on shopping; on creating pantry basics; on mastering certain staples -- pizza dough, flour tortillas -- and saucy extras that make everything taste better, like spice oil and tzatziki; and how to make fundamentally smart, healthful food choices. The author launched a Kickstarter campaign (LeanneBrown.com) to self-publish, and hundreds of thousands of viewers watched her video. Leanne Brown has a masters in Food Studies from New York University"--Provided by publisher.
