We've discovered a cuisine that combines 3 fantastic traits - 1) it's delicious 2) it's really cheap and 3) it's very healthy. The cuisine in question is that of the Mediterranean peasant. You eat fish / meat maybe once a week each, and the rest of the time eat lots of fresh fruit and veg, lots of olive oil (lowers cholesterol), pasta, dairy (cheese & yoghurt) and eggs. The times you're eating vegetarian you don't think of it as vegetarian, as it's not designed to be vegetarian per se, it just happens to be. It's so tasty you don't notice. We've been eating things like entirely homemade pizza, pesto/pasta, creamy prawn linguini, one-pot summer chicken, spinach and feta lasagne, roast pepper, mozzarella and tomato tart. A good book to get is the BBC Good Food Magazine "101 Meditteranean Dishes" - rrp £5. Tom F
