Poor Girl Gourmet

As a successful freelance producer for network and cable television, Amy McCoy once enjoyed gourmet food with little concern for price. Then the recession hit and the freelance work all but disappeared. But in the economic downturn, McCoy found her mission: to eat the best food she and her husband could while spending as little as possible. To that end, McCoy created her blog, and now this cookbook, where she offers up her insights and friendly advice alongside delicious gourmet recipes that are inexpensive to prepare. Because gourmets, regardless of their budget, appreciate a gorgeous cookbook, Poor Girl Gourmet bucks the pared-down trend in cost-conscious cookbooks, and is illustrated throughout with McCoy's own mouth-watering full-colour photography.
