Guess how much it costs to feed a child for a year?


Hi Reader

The last few months, I've been focusing nearly all my time on creating a brand new ebook, ready to launch next week! This ebook is completely different from anything you've seen before. Not only does it answer all your questions and give you lots of great resources around how to eat a sustainable diet. It does something truly amazing. The net proceeds from every single sale will go towards feeding one child for one year through the international food aid charity Mary's Meals!

Mary's Meals currently feed over 3 million children in some of the most vulnerable communities in the world for just £19.15 per child (US$25.20 / CAN$31.70 / AUS$34.80 / €22.00). Yes, isn't that incredible! For the price of a few coffees, a child can receive a meal every day for one whole year in a place of education.

I don't know about you, but that number makes me feel incredibly humble, but also excited by the possibilities that opens up. That's why I've created A Place at Your Table, a brand new ebook that can literally change lives.

The ebook will go live on Tuesday, but as a subscriber to my newsletter who I appreciate very much, it will be available to you on Monday. Look out for the special email. I'll also be sharing some more information with you about it over the coming days.

Thank you so much for all your support.

Now, back to the week ahead, because meals still need cooking! This is what I'm making this week.

Meal Plan

Pork Meatballs

An easy family meal and great way to use up any leftover burgers from a BBQ

Tray Baked Cod

An easy fish dish you can have on the table in under 30 minutes

Salmon Fishcakes

These freeze very well so why not make a batch for later on this summer?

Sweet Potato Bean Chilli

I made this for a friend recently who was poorly and she and all her family, including her teenage boys absolutely loved it!

Creamy Vegetable Pasta

Ready in just 20 minutes. You can use a variety of vegetables and just stir in a lovely cream sauce flavoured with parmesan.

Waste Less Tip
Leftover potatoes make brilliant fishcakes.

Look out for more info on my new ebook tomorrow.

Top 5 budget-friendly easy meals to cook on holiday

Hi Reader Next week I'm going camping and it's reminded me about the need for simple holiday meals. When I'm on holiday, I want meals I can throw together quickly. I also want meals that are relatively cheap to cook, to balance out the times when we might eat out and help keep that holiday budget under control. Next week, there will be 6 of us and we need meals we can easily cook over a small two burner camping stove. For the first night, I always take something with us that I've cooked...
