Have you watched Thrifty Kitchen yet?

With food prices still putting pressure on household budgets, Nottingham-based chef David Murphy is proving that great food doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag.

Each week, David helps viewers tackle the cost of living challenge head-on, creating delicious meals and indulgent sweet treats that won’t break the bank.

His easy-to-follow videos show how a few clever ingredient swaps and simple cooking techniques can transform everyday ingredients into restaurant-worthy dishes at a fraction of the cost. Better still, many of the recipes make multiple portions, helping families stretch their food budget even further.
