Becky Excell has created a menu of nutritious and healthy dishes - they include smoky tomato rice, sticky sausage stew and turkey and cranberry pie. The influencer and best-selling author has created these meals to help inspire those looking to make more affordable choices during the cost-of-living crisis.
Other dishes include sweet potato and chickpea curry and an Italian-inspired gnocchi bake. The recipes come after research of 2,000 adults, commissioned by Aldi, found the average household spends nearly £230 on food each month – with Brits estimating the average single serving for dinner costs £7.40.
More than two thirds (64 per cent) are keen to keep their food bills down and 41 per cent have already changed their habits when it comes to shopping and cooking. As many as three in 10 are buying more frozen food while 57 per cent are opting for cheaper alternatives when doing their usual shop.
