About the Author

Amy Sheppard is a busy mum of two boys, living in Cornwall. Amy grew up in Cornwall and was taught to cook by her mum. There was never very much money, so the key was cooking great food on a budget, clever meal planning and using up leftovers. Amy has continued cooking in this tradition, developing her own recipes to feed her growing family.
Her first book, The Savvy Shopper's Cookbook, was written with busy people in mind, and this, her second book, continues that principle, offering simple, delicious meals that don't cost the earth.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy and fun recipes to follow!
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2021
I am always looking for a new cookbook so this one is a pleasant surprise. The author’s recipes are ones I already make for my family but with different ingredients so I am excited to try these. Also, like that she offers meat, vegetarian options, and using staples already in my pantry and fridge.

3.0 out of 5 stars 80 Recipes - less than one quarter of which appealed
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2021
Whilst I don’t mind an eBook of recipes I don’t think one should ever buy one without first having seen a physical copy to check out the recipes. Whilst there were a number of recipes that I might try out (though I doubt they will become staples in my household but more occasional treats) there were far more that didn’t appeal. Firstly there are the curries, the wraps, flatbreads and fajitas that I personally never eat, then the sheer number of recipes which contain tomato (for which I have a food intolerance) but my main bugbear was that everything seemed to need frying off and I don’t know why but I expected these recipes to be healthier. If you want to buy this book check it out in a bookshop first.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is a brilliant cookbook. Recipes are way to follow, short list of ingredients, quick to make and everyone I’ve made tastes delicious. I’ve never had a cookbook where I e made so many of the recipes, usually I only make a handful. Would definitely recommend this book for good wholesome food when short on time

5.0 out of 5 stars Stove top cooking made easy

This marvel of a book contains 80 recipes all cooked on the stove-top. It’s full of quick and easy dinners for when you’re pushed for time to dishes cooked on a low simmer and weekend meals for when you have more time to hand. There’s a section on budget wonders for when you’re working to a budget and lunch and brunch ideas too. My favourite section is the sweet section. I’ve not made many desserts on the stove before so delighted to have so much inspiration. There are tips on meal planning and a handy meal planner at the back of the book with space to write your shopping lists too. It is written in a clear and concise way with clever tips throughout. The pictures in the book are beautiful and your mouth will be watering before you’ve even finished cooking. A gem of a book that I am just so thrilled to own. Definitely recommend.
