Good and Cheap is an NYT-bestselling cookbook for people with very tight budgets, particularly those on SNAP/Food Stamp benefits. The free PDF has been downloaded more than 800,000 times, and a Kickstarter campaign for an initial print run brought in over $144,000 (it remains the #1 cookbook ever on Kickstarter). For every book sold, another is donated to someone in need.
In conversation with Gail Simmons from Top Chef, Leanne will tell the inspiring story of Good and Cheap, share the success that readers have had with it, and discuss the troubling issue of food insecurity.

One of the things I'd recommend: if you have kids, get them to help you cook. My dad died young and left behind a wife and six children ranging in ages from 12 to 3. Mom had been a stay-at-home mother for over a decade, but she had to go back to work, and her way of making sure dinner got on the table every night was to assign each of us one day a week where we'd be in charge of dinner. She'd sit down with us on the weekends, we'd figure out what each of us wanted to cook (and could afford to cook), and she'd pick up groceries. Monday through Thursday night dinners were the responsibility of the four oldest kids, who needed little supervision, and the youngest two worked alongside Mom on Friday and Saturday night to make simple meals; Mom usually made Sunday dinner. At age 13, I could make a balanced dinner for seven people.

Brilliant! No question. And the pdf is a free download. Now, if you're just a greedy fat person, this isn't for you. Obviously. But those of us with common sense and reason and who just want to be well fed and nourished, not obese and fast food crazy, this is sound reasoning. The emails she's received and attention says it all, really. Grateful for her research and work to teach us how it's done. During the 50's and 60's this is just what our parents, the wise ones, actually did to feed a growing family. All of the diseases we've acquired from fast food dining and eating processed foods cause cancer and other health problems anyway. Her degree was well worth the money spent, because she's doing good for people everywhere, when you give it thought. C'mon, only $7 dollars and they give one away for free? Whoever commented that the book was too expensive must be kidding. Got to be a joker posting. Even Chef, Gordon Ramsay would love this concept. Blessings to her for doing this needed public service.

excellent analysis. One thing is, in some poor metro areas, there is a disgusting lack of stores that sell healthy foods. McDeath flourishes and provides cheap deadly food.

Swash Bucklin Because it is all GMO. Where are you from?

Swash Bucklin A mango here is 2.50 cash each. You cannot find any decent fruits or vegetables at the supermarkets here unless you go to the highest end retailers located in affluent areas. What little options the poor have here are very limited. The video suggest that we can eat on four dollars a day assuming that most people have access to cooking fuel, storage options and ways to preserve the food. Take a good look at the food here in the USA, the corn is modified with epicyte contraceptives and most processed food is polluted with hundreds of various toxic substances that the FDA turns a blind eye to, like high levels of mercury from corn syrup, an ingredient present in almost everything. Yes, compromised food is somewhat less expensive in the short run but the real cost emerges years down the road as cancer.

Swash Bucklin It is no accident that Tom Vilsack, CEO of Monsanto, a company that creates pesticides and contraceptives and invented Agent Orange is in charge of all the food here. Vilsack even headed the FDA here, maybe still does. Im sure the genocidal depopulation policy is still in full effect. Want to taste our food?

Swash Bucklin There is no reason for GMO other than the agenda I mentioned. Hunger has not been alleviated in the third world as promised either. Ive seen beavers, by expanding their territories, bring wetlands into the Nevada desert. With a little thought, this could be exploited and great tracts of barren lands could become oasis and many of the so-called "invasive" species, like Kudzu, could be harvested and turned to valuable composts to enrich those areas further. I have seen the priorities of the powers that be and this isnt really the direction they are wanting to go, although many assume that by the rhetoric. Australia could be a paradise with a little planning and some work,but GMO crops are easy cash and kill two birds with the same stone. Best to you down under, a Merry Christmas too.
