Cardiff Mum’s Thrifty Feasts: Deliciously affordable one-pot, air-fryer and slow-cooker meals for every home and budget

My most used cookbook!Recipes for all occasions, easy to follow, nutritious and most take no time at all which is great for a young family.

The layout of the book is so helpful, all the instructions are clear and simple and colour coded well. There are really helpful hints and tips about planning your meals and there is not one recipe I don’t want to try. I will let u know how I get on. What an inspirational lady she is xx

"Cardiff Mums Thrifty Feasts" is a fantastic book for budget-friendly, delicious meals. The recipes are easy to follow and perfect for families looking to save money without sacrificing taste. While the variety and creativity of dishes are impressive, they might not cater well to picky eaters. Nonetheless, the book is a valuable addition to any kitchen for its practical and tasty meal ideas.

I've cooked 5 different recipes so far, all winners. Simple ingredients, recipes ok to follow but in my mind a bit disordered but that's a small critism as I am really pleased with this. I swap out some of the more calorific ingredients for a healthier meal, it could do with a few alternative suggestions for those looking for less fat in thier diet but overall, I really rate this book, lots of variety and easy to make meals.

This cook book is fantastic I bought this as I would cook every recipe on every page not just a few from the book like other recipe books! I have so far tried 10 different recipes all which have been delicious and a hit with the whole family!

I have followed Ashleigh for ages on Instagram and was so exited to find out she was publishing a recipe book! Ordered my copy, good value for money! However when arrived, it has a peculiar mould smell through all the pages. Disappointing as it's really off putting to actually use!

I've used this cookbook solidly for about 10 days and it is just so tasty and easy. I've told all my fellow Mum friends!The best thing is the tastiness and simplicity. No weird and wonderful things to hunt down in the supermarket. Just the very normal things you have in your pantry. Get stocked on your spices and basics ( things like rice, Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger puree, garlic puree, tomato puree) plus normal meats and veg you'd buy and you are good to go.The only thing is that the cooking times take a bit longer. I did the Chinese Fried Rice ( so yummy) and it says 30 min but it took me 60 min. I don't think I'm really slow!! So just add leighway on that.But I promise you, you won't regret giving this a go. Particularly if you like good flavours and not trying to find obscure stuff in the supermarket. I love that it is really for normal people buying normal things!!Enjoy ! X

Some really lovely recipes in this book

I use this every day of the week nearly and it’s got the children eating lots of new and different flavors and spices. It also has reduced costs as we use less meat and it goes further, thanks to the recipes. I’d also say the portions are quite large, as were a family of five and the portions for four stretch easily, sometimes even with leftovers.
