Pennsylvania Dutch Corn & Potato Chowder from Starting with Ingredients

Quick and simple. This is unlikely to be the best chowder you've ever eaten, but it's a simple, reliable and good-tasting soup. Takes less than 30mins. read more >

The Impoverished Gastronome

By David Chater
Fourth Estate London - 1996

December 27th, 2009

This is a sort of 'anthology' cookbook - the author contacted a number of cooks and invited them to contribute tasty recipes which would feed a group for under £10 (when the book was written in 1996). Most of the recipes are European but some Asian. Lots of delicious dessert recipes too. They are all written clearly and easy to follow. This is one of the most well-used cookbooks I own.
