PREFACE

There are no housewives more skilled than those
who manage week by week on a small wage. We
should not venture to offer these suggestions for
planning the week's meals, issued in connexion with
the ' Shopping and Cooking ' series of talks, which
is being broadcast each Tuesday morning from 1
January to 26 March at 10.45 a.m., to those with
long years of experience behind them; we hope, how-
ever, that this pamphlet may be of interest as a rough
guide to the young housewife. There are meals for
three weeks at a total cost of 21s. each week, and meals
for another three weeks at a total cost of 27s. 6d. each
week. These meals have been planned for a family of
two adults and three children, and have been checked
as to their food value by V. H. Mottram, Professor of
Dietetics in the University of London. The recipes for
the more unusual dishes suggested are given at the end
of the pamphlet. It is hoped that the shopping lists
included for each week are sufficiently practical to
allow of adaptation, although it is, of course, realized
that shopping facilities and prices vary considerably
in different localities, and between town and country.
One further point, the sum of 21s. has been chosen
not on an assessment of food values, but because it
appears to approximate to the amount spent in many
households on food,
