The $1.98 Cookbook

Many Americans live on a tight budget. We hear reports about children going hungry, even in this land of plenty, school lunches, and food stamps. Author Carl Japikse began to wonder if it were possible to eat well on a starvation budget -- and if so, how. He set a goal of spending no more than $1.98 for dinner -- and another $1.98 combined for breakfast and lunch. He found it was not at all difficult to meet these targets and still eat well. In fact, he found it is possible to eat for just $1.98 for the whole day!Japikse includes recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with special sections on soups, salads, vegetables, breads, and desserts. There are even recipes for steak and shrimp!
