Break Bread on a Budget: Ordinary Ingredients, Extraordinary Meals

In her first cookbook, Rogers emphasizes that having a budget is not a weakness, and cooking good food on that budget is something to strive for. In a time where everything is being affected by inflation, including food that has traditionally been kept low-cost, knowing how to cook on a budget is a very useful skill to have. This cookbook teaches readers just that: how to have a good, home-cooked meal at a reasonable price. Rogers came to fame on the show MasterChef, and after a chapter featuring recipes similar to the food she made on the show, she showcases budget-friendly meals. Offering menus for a variety of occasions, from weeknight meals that kids will love to party pleasers, desserts, and a whole section on smoothies, she has something for everyone in this book. The kitchen how-to’s also provide tips and techniques to assist people at all levels of cooking.
