No body has mentioned about pressure cooking. Great for cooking your beans etc. Also nobody mentioned the humble potato. They are only fattening if you use loads of butter and oil. I am Vegan,( Mostly plant based only ocassional processed food) for 5 years and vegetarian for over 25 years. I am 75 and am on no meds. Just because we get older doesn't mean we have to be ill. I am only vegan for the horror of animal agriculture. Doctors get hardly any training in nutrition which is really bad

Watching this podcast from South h Sudan. Being an aid worker, getting a balanced diet is challenging. But I am blessed to be a South Asian. So my go-to ingredients are peanuts, lentils, frozen spinach, frozen peas and canned tomatoes and another canned veg. I use dry mushrooms. Keep sushi nories and dry kelp in my luggage. Wherever I go in the world I take kefir seeds to make kefir, I also make fermented cabbage or vegetables I buy locally. I also keep chickpea flour which allows me to prepare a variety of meals. I have seeds for making microgreens at home. I lived alone most of my life and never thought it was challenging to cook for myself. After work it is my passion to nurture my kefirs and sprouts, getting foraged herbs and leaves to invent new recipes. When I go back to the UK I add offals to my diet and always buy cheap cuts of meat which I eat only once a week. Eating a simple meal with daal, brown rice and some greens with pickles is more satisfactory than eating expensive animal protein-rich foods. I have made my own diet, taking a bit from Japanese and Korean, from India, the middle east, Africa and from Europe. After work having a miso soup with some rice sprinkled with seaweeds, sesame seeds and salt with chillie flakes does not take much time. But it is nutrition and brings in diversity in meal planning.

I buy dried beans or chick peas and soak and cook the whole packetful. When drained and cooled I freeze them in a single layer in a suitable bag. Once frozen you can give the bag a bash and the pulses will separate. It is easy to take out as many or as few as you want. It works well with whole grains too. Canned pulses are handy but I prefer the flavour of home cooked ones.

Thank you for this podcast. I've been batch cooking for years, because it's so economical. It's also fun to take out a batch from the freezer and decide what you're going to do with it for dinner - am I going to add some tomatoes, or some spices, have it with pea pasta or potatoes? The options are endless 🙂💚 There's a generation that does not know how to prepare meals economically, because of being brought up on highly processed convenience foods and takeouts. My mother is of that generation who always knew how to be thrifty with cooking, sewing, knitting, and some of that has rubbed off on me (although perhaps not the knitting, I'm rubbish😆). It feels quite sad that basic life skills could disappear. However with guys like you educating and re-educating people all may not be lost 🙂

Thoroughly agree particularly at the constant lie spread about that it is difficult when it isn't, and that processed food is cheaper. Just to take one example put a 1kg of potatoes next to 8 bags of crisps and tell me that processed is cheaper. The same goes for just about everything else except, the big exception, frozen veg. Even there you should buy the veg fresh and cheap in season, frozen out of season. Sort your pantry shelves into basics; pasta, rice, couscous, polenta, beans, lentils etc, then the supplemental flavours to spice them up, canned fruit and veg for out of season, or to build salads, and lastly cans/jars of protein which is mostly fish of many varieties. Make pasteurised sauces in jars as bases for more complicated recipes. Italian and Indian recipes work best with these.

Great video, thanks guys I came from a family of ten, to budget my Mum would have 2 meatless meals a week. Usually macaroni cheese, curried eggs, stir fried veggies with peanuts. Later I learnt the meat, eggs, cheese and milk protein is considered a whole protein and could be replaced with a combination of grains, beans, peas, seeds and nuts. As I made friends from different cultures and travelled my diet became more colourful and diverse and I developed a liking for international flavours and dishes. The simple and the plain are the most nutritious. Sugar, meat and fat aren't necessary to survive. I find them hard to give up but I'm slowly succeeding.

I went through a period of poverty during the pandemic; I had no income, rent & tax debts, and very little money in the bank. I was forced to start using a food sharing app (OLIO), and cooking foods that I wasn't used to such as root vegetables, cabbage and lentils. I think I actually ate more healthily than ever before; red cabbage is really cheap and really healthy, same goes for root vegetables such as swede, and lentils. Tinned sardines are also fairly cheap (though they vary a lot in price; the most expensive ones can be 5x the price of the cheapest ones) and very healthy, same goes for baked beans. You can get brown bread for around 50p a loaf if you shop at the right time when discounts are applied, or free from OLIO. You can also save a lot by buying in bulk and freezing. All that's needed is common sense, a basic understanding of nutrition and the will power to overcome the desires that have been implanted in your brain by advertising.

Some easy things that I always do, hopefully can help a few people 1. In many recipes you can replace canned tomatoes with tomato paste. A tube of tomato paste contains about 3 times as many tomatoes as canned. The difference is the dehydrated water which makes it also more cost effective to transport. Also you can spend less time and energy reducing your dishes. Shorter cooking times also preserve the vitamins more. 2. Batch cooking, freezing, you should stay organised and defrost the food at room temperature ahead of time rather than using the microwave to defrost. 3. Figure out what you are wasting frequently and stop buying it 4. Eat the broccoli stems! The core of the stem is deliciously sweet 5. Frozen sweetcorn Vs canned. Frozen allows you to use as little or as much as your recipe requires. Frozen is also better for the environment if you go through a lot of it because cans take a lot of energy to produce

Surprised that the concept of omega ratios and inadequate dietary intake of omega 3 lipids is never mentioned. Not only are they critical essential nutrients, but are a weak link in fresh & cooked food preservation. Seed oils in general have not only higher levels of unsaturated lipids, but in western diets a major source of omega-6 fatty acids. These are responsible for pro-inflammatory prostaglandin cascades and should be recognised, along with lack of dietary fibre, as a major contributor of diet to disease processes and obesity. Strict Vegan and vegetarian diets are often deficient in omega-3s and fat soluble vitamins A, D,, E & K2

I add cannellini beans or lentils to a minced beef stew which traditionally I only add potatoes, carrots and onions to (well, also tomato puree, herbs and stock etc). The addition of beans or lentils adds more protein and fibre. It's also a 'needs must'. Also, as the great Jack Monroe taught me in her wonderful cookery books (one of which is based on food bank tins to make complete meals which are delicious) ... Jack taught me to buy the cheapest baked beans and rinse off the sauce because they are cheaper than tinned beans without the sauce. Another thing I do, when frying onions, celery, mushrooms and herbs etc..., I set some of it aside for the next day and pop into the fridge. Then the next day I will use it to make the base for an omelette. I also make an absolutely delicious sardine omelette using a whole tin of sardines and four eggs. I like it with peas, onion and tomato puree, oregano too etc etc. I top the omelette with finely grated padano cheese (which I buy from chilled in supermarket and then I keep this in the freezer)... I live alone so the four egg sardine omelette is absolutely fine saved the next day because it is too much for one serving. Sardine omelette is really nice. There is a knack to cooking the sardines nicely, which involves 'drying it out' on the hob so the omelette is not too soggy. Peas go really well with this recipe, along with tomato puree. Jack Monroe also has a brilliant sardine and tomato soup recipe, which, again, requires a special way of cooking and I can tell you it really is delicious. This recipe will be free online on Jack's website. It is also in her foodbank book called TIN CAN COOK. Zoe should interview Jack Monroe as she has worked tirelessly to promote healthy eating on a very small budget. One of her other cookbooks is called COOKING ON A BOOTSTRAP.

Great podcast as usual, I am just surprised to hear dr Tim Spector's comments about protein intake not being an issue at all. Both guests sound very confident on the topic, but new studies are coming, the old ones were quite badly set up, and apparently they are showing that a daily protein intake of 1,2 g/kg is needed to prevent sarcopenia. Resistance training is also essential, as doing aerobic training alone, even with a sufficient protein intake, is going to lead to muscle mass. The experts on the topic, such as dr Brad Schoenfeld and dr Stuart Phillips, actually recommend around 1,6 g/kg and even more, if doing resistance training. Given that we still need data, dr Spector's confidence on the topic surprises me, and dismissing recommendations as marketing isn't fair, given the evidence so far. I would love him to be right, because it would mean that we can reduce consumption of meat, fish and cheese, but there's no way that you are going to meet the above-mentioned targets by eating beans.

They also look to me like processed food, so I am still a bit skeptical about it. I do have some whey protein but try to minimise their use, and get real food. 130 g is a rather high target even on an animal and veg-based diet, and beans have ⅓ the protein that you can find on meat, cheese, peanuts, so I guess you'd have to assume a rather high amount of protein powder, to get to that target on a vegan diet. I do appreciate that many people are experimenting with this as it's certainly good for the planet.

@@luca6635 not everyone likes tempeh or tofu, it's definitely about how you prepare it for sure. Tempeh is fermented soya beans so not processed at all. I only have one, two max plant protein shakes a day (same amount previously when using whey). I also eat organic soba noodles made from soya which has more protein than chicken breast although does have minimal carbs. My protein intake is exactly the same as it was when eating meat for weight training, the only difference I suppose is a higher carb intake which isn't an issue when heavy weight training. I've seen greater gains on my lifting capacity. It's not for everyone and most people probably can get away with much less protein which makes it easier to make up daily intake. There should never be pressure to change the way you eat, unless you feel you could benefit from one or two meatless days a week.

All the animal-based proteins create acidity and inflammation in the body; the China Study (one of the largest nutritional studies ever done) showed clearly that an increase in animal-protein in the diet led directly to an increase in cancer....The only diet certified to REVERSE heart-disease is a plant-strong whole-foods diet.

Can you get enough protein if you have tree nut and ground nut allergies - not intolerances, but allergies meaning they carry an epipen & can't consume tree & ground nuts OR beans , pulses (& many fruits & veg (oral allergy syndrome too)). It's rare but does happen - my offspring is one such individual. They currently rely on prescription vitamins & minerals.

Atomic Shrimp raised a really good point about feeding yourself on a tight budget, namely the cost of your time. For someone on minimum wage who literally needs to work every hour they can to keep a roof over their head and the heat on, every minute spent cooking is a minute they can't be earning. A recipe that takes an hour to prep and cook has already cost them £11.44 before you start on the ingredients and cooking fuel. Worth bearing in mind when you find yourself thinking "Why don't they just cook from scratch?".

Root veg like swedes and celeriac are lower in carbs that potatoes.Tofu, nuts and seeds for plant-based protein. Eggs, cheese, tinned fish, liver, kidney, heart, 20% fat minced beef for animal protein. All the green leafy veg you can eat! Frozen petit pois are lower carb than frozen garden peas. They are still pretty good value even if they are not quite so cheap. You might be able to use whole lentils too. It depends how low carb you need to go to control your diabetes.

I found out that I can cook a pound of beans, any type, in 30 minutes in the instant pot. Very surprising, and this has really helped stretch the budget. If there are beans always cooked, there is always something to eat. You simply rinse a pound of beans, put them in the instant pot, then cover with water 2 inches higher than the beans, put the lid on, and hit the "bean" button. That is all there is to it. :)

Are there Zoe real communities, a bit like the Action for Happiness movement? I am just thinking of cooking together opportunities, especially when baking -given rising energy prices and some people dont have access to real kitchens. Also there are lots of single people out there for whom cooking can seem just too much- though I do agree with Ru that it is an act of self compassion. And then we can start to say more about the time taking to mindfully eat and appreciate our ingredients and new shared skills- with a dash of science e.g. time for the brain to get the 'enough' signal so that we get the whole wellbeing hug. Thanks for all this scienced based inclusive chat. Lovi g it and sharing❤

I use a recipe app, Paprika that lets me store recipes, let's me do menu planning and will generate shopping lists and keep a pantry inventory. I only cook dinner/lunch a couple of times a week and I do batch cooking using an instant pot as much as possible. Then I vacuum seal and freeze the leftovers. Eating this way saves money and time. It results in less spoilage because I only shop for what I'll eat. And it gives me access to a variety of tasty and health meals. It also helps that I have a wide variety of spices, and kitchen equipment. If you can treat cooking as a hobby, rather than a burden, that helps too! I love to cook! I also have a waring vacuum sealer gun which has reusable bags and I seal anything that oxidation can spoil, this at leat doubles the life of most stuff in the fridge. I live alone and it's one way I avoid spoilage.

Buying food for the whole month has actually helped me save money. Then I don't go buy anything unnecessary every time I'm in the store. I start with buying the different kinds of meat for the whole month and put it in the freezer, then cans of beans and dried stored foods and other storage able foods and spices. I always have tomato puree and coconut milk as my base. So some cans of coconutmilk. Then lastly the fresh veggies. This I may buy two times a month and the things that I may have forgotten. Also trying to eat as Lowcarb and low glycemic index as possible. That makes me less hungry and makes me want to snack less which also makes me save more money. (I was/am a comfort eater. Keeping it at bay this way.) I try to calculate my monthly consumption. And it has gone down with 100$ since planning it better. Still buying better foods. (Sweden)

Exactly. I'm 40 years old and live in the center of beautiful Heidelberg Germany. I inhabit a flat with 2 students, to save money. I can walk to work (ICU nurse), but I have an old used bike for less then 200 bucks. I don't need to travel. Heidelberg is paradise. No car, no kids. I only work part time so I have enough money for my hobbies: Bouldering, Running, Gaming on Sony PlayStation and Nintendo Switch (when our house burns down, I can't lose those games, I own them in the cloud). Life is beautiful nowadays, why would I waste it at work. I only buy cloths when I really need them, mostly cheap. You can eat healthy for 5 bucks a day (coffee included). I consider whole grain pasta to be healthy, but you should have them split up in to maximum 2 meals a day, and with a good amount of healthy plant seed oils (I prefer olive). Other than that I eat nuts and vegetables. Only drink water, coffee, and tea without milk or sugar. If you're vegan have your vit.B12 and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (like algae oil), maybe vit.D if you're a nightshift worker or not out in the sun much, and you're good. I'm 40 years old, athletic, everyone thinks I'm much younger. Take good care of your bodies folks and enjoy life 💟

I always have to adjust them because I’m intolerant of fructans (onions, garlic, leeks 😩) I have used a remoska for years, I hardly ever put the oven on, but if I do, I remember my mother’s mantra of making sure you’ve got something cooking on every shelf. Her go to was either rice pudding or bread and butter pudding. (Bread went stale in those days!) 😋

In Indonesia people leave the food out all day and then put it in the fridge at night. Then they will eat it 3 days later even if it has meat in it. Admittedly it has more spices in it, but my take away is that fears of food poisoning are severely over blown. Also, I have reheated rice many times without consequence. Just put your food in the fridge within a couple of hours of cooking and use within 3 days for meat and 5 days for no meat/dairy. You will be fine.

I've been "bulk cooking" all my life. I can not understand how anyone thinks cooking is difficult. There are countless recipes that just require you to roughly chop up the ingredients and put them in a pot in the right order. I use three sets of storage bottles, heating them in the oven and adding the food whilst hot so it is sealed. I use tall 700g passata bottles, short wide 700g Gherkin jars, both which hold 2-3 serves, and single meals in 360g tomato concentrate jars. Being glass they are easy to pasteurise, do not interact with the food and are tough. The sizes fit perfectly on fridge shelves. Write the date and what it is on the lid. Cooking for yourself is very cheap, satisfying and given the saved meals are reheated, very quick. Supplement with side vegetables and salads some of which can also be stored and served as needed. The fact that this needs to be said over and over again, shows just what a sad state we are in.

I ate lots of leftovers growing up. However, later in life I became allergic to mold ingested in leftovers. I found that to be the cause of all most daily headaches (delayed onset reaction). I stead of reacting Within Say a 15 min. post ingestion period it could be the next day. After not eating my leftovers past a 24 hour Window for several years unless frozen after making, I can now eat leftovers se real days out again. I no longer get those headaches. Those headaches even came with sensitivity to weather changes even from across great distances.
