Forget about Michelin-starred chefs and their high-end fripperies, this week's foodie heroine is indisputably Gill Holcome, whom the Mail this week dubs the No Money Nigella. We love the 'it may be a recession read but that's no reason why my book can't have an unfeasibly long title' book title How to feed your whole family a healthy, balanced diet with very little money and hardly any time, even if you have a tiny kitchen, only three saucepans (one with an ill-fitting lid) and no fancy gadgets unless you count the garlic crusher and so does the book-buying public it seems as the title's on its fifth reprint.
Elsewhere in the press this week:
- Wine glasses a foot long and dishes of caviar covered in gold leaf - it could only be dining out in Dubai. The Telegraph's man Jasper Gerard braves the Burj.
- Curry in a hurry: why Britain's Indian restaurants are calling for the creation of a School of Curry.
- What do collar bacon, chocolate and soda bread have in common? They're all unsung heroes of Irish cuisine, according to The Metro.
And finally...the prize for the best food-related headline of recent months goes to Saturday's Telegraph for its piece on the launch of a new convenience food - liquid eggs. The Telegraph's headline - Eggs for lazy oeufs.
Boom, boom!
