Dining on a Dime by Jill Cooper, Tawra Jean Kellam (2004, Hardcover, Spiral)

This cook book is filled not only with good recipes for food real people would actually eat, but also lots of good tips on planning, purchasing and storing food so as to get the most for your money. If you have been at this for awhile, or are new to making the most of your money you will find some good information, written in an interesting way. In addition to the standard contents you would expect there is a section on gift baskets and mixes; cleaning hints and homemade solutions and even recipes for making your own cosmetics. A great addition to your kitchen library.

What a great book! Informative, insightfull writting with a nice mix of hummor. We originaly borrowed the book from the local library and loved it so much we just had to have it for our colection.

I got it in just a few days, even during the Christmas rush! It was in perfect condition, which is what I saw posted on the website. Thank you!

I collect cookbooks and really love this one. I first borrowed it from my sister-in-law and when she insisted that I return it, I had to have one of my own. Great dishes with easy to follow instructions, a perfect combination.

Disappointed that this book never came to me, after I paid for it. I worked hard to resolve this issue with no results.

This cookbook has not only great money saving recipes but menu ideas and recipes for homemade mixes and gift baskets. I would recommend this to anyone with a family or if you like to cook from scratch.

The book has a lot of helpful tips, suggestions and ideas to help you get, keep and stay on a budget. In this economy everyone needs to find ways to save cash, because credit is going to be a thing of the past, unless you have a fabulous job and credit report.

I appreciated that the book came in a timely manner and was what I expected it to be. Thanks a million!!!

This book allows us, especially at this time in our financial turmoil, to see that living on a dime is not always bland and tasteless. The only thing I didn't care for is that some of the recipes used items we don't care for at all....but all cookbooks do that to some extent. This is wonderful for those of us who choose, or are forced, to cut back as much as possible. There are many ideas on how to save quite a bit in the food store....and who couldn't use a bit of saving right now?

This has become my favorite cookbook (and I have several, including antique ones). These are great, money-saving recipes that no family today can do without. I bought this for my son and his new wife for their wedding last month. I have tried several of these recipes and highly recommend both the French Onion and Broccoli Cheese soups, the Chicken Pot Pie is excellent as well (just made it again tonite for dinner). Truly a wonderful cookbook, has other great recipes for beauty products at the end as well.
