If you’re the sort of person who likes their shopping list short and their washing-up even shorter, then welcome back to Budget Bites – the series that’s all about belt-tightening without joy-stripping. Created with the clever cooks at Sorted Food, this is our answer to the cost of living crisis: three recipes, one shop and zero faff.
This latest instalment is a spring fling with fish – three fresh, pescatarian plates that lean into the season and out of your overdraft. We’re talking smoked mackerel with enough umami to make your eyes roll back, beetroot that does double duty as a salad star and bruschetta topper, and a baked ricotta so creamy you’ll forget it’s basically a health food.
