Have decided to get one of these to bring down our food bills but not sure which one is the best to get.Looking at Everyday Smart Food or 100+ $10 meals.Does anyone have these books or know which one is better.

The 100 meal one is pretty average imo, i liked Delicious and Enjoy, i think. I wouldnt bother with stunning food for the family or more stunning food i dont think they are that great I liked the everyday smart food one though. (whichever the green cover one is) I think she repeats a LOT of her recipies. If you can get your hands on the recipe for bacon wrapped pork meatloaf.YUM

Also recommend Alison Holst's Dollars and Sense, thats a really good one with HEAPS of recipies - mine is worn out and stuck together - a good sign.

I also like 'Enjoy' and 'Delicious'.They both have a lot of her recipes from the other books in. If you google Destitute Gourmet, Sophie has quite a few of her recipes online.

funny as more stunning food from small change is my favourite, suppose it depends what you are into.Also that was the first one I bought of hers, so maybe thats why its my fav.I have all her cookbooks and have to say she got us through being a single income family.All her recipes are fail-safe and as good if not better than cafe food.It's all stuff you can find in your pantry - I love her!

I liked the first one best.I had 3, but biffed two and frankly never use the one I have kept.
For budget books, I found them pretty profligate with quite costly ingredients compared to the sort of food I normally cook.Alison Holst's Food for flatters is cheap cooking, though very plain food.
I'd get the books from the library first.
