Serves 4Lentil, Bean and Anchovy Salad
Just add bread to this lovely beany salad - a cheap and easy meal for very little money and proof that you don't need to spend a lot to eat royally.
Serves 4White Bean and Salami Salad
All you need is crusty bread to mop up the juices in this superb summery salad that has more than a hint of Italy about it.
Serves 3Macaroni au Gratin
Classic macaroni cheese, with the addition of bacon and mushrooms, for winter comfort food that's cheap to make and a real pleasure to eat.
Serves 3New Potatoes with Bacon and Onion
New potatoes sauteed with bacon, onion and garlic - yum! Delia suggests serving this low-cost recipe with fried eggs for a suppertime treat!
Serves 12Mixed Vegetable Salad a la Grecque
A great way to add lots of vegetables and pulses to a buffet spread - and so easy you can make it well in advance.
Serves 4Shoulder of Lamb stuffed with Rice and Olives
If you're watching the pennies, shoulder of lamb is much more inexpensive than a leg joint or other cuts. Turn it into something really special with this flavoursome stuffing of rice, olives, onions and herbs.
Serves 3Spaghetti with Tuna and Olives
Easy and nutritious, this is the sort of recipe that every student should have up his or her sleeve as it costs very little but tastes sensational and uses storecupboard ingredients - perfect for when you haven't time to go shopping.
Serves 2Eggs with Cheese and Spinach Sauce
That classic sauce - Fiorentina - made with cheese and spinach comes into play here then is used to top hard-boiled eggs, a quick, cheap and easy vegetarian supper. Serve it with rice if you're really hungry, or crusty bread.
Serves 4-6Chick Pea Salad
Anchovies, capers, parsley and olives - plus garlicky mayo - give this bean salad plenty of punch. Chickpeas and haricots verts are a brilliant source of fibre and highly nutritious. Vegetarians could leave out the anchovies.
Serves 4-6Almost Mayonnaise
Usually, rich sauces such as mayonnaise are off the radar for dieters, but Delia has cleverly come up with a way round it and created a low-fat mayo that is based on a 19th-century original by one of her favourite cookery writers.
