/PRNewswire/ --

The Frugally Delicious Cookbook launched in partnership with 55 food bloggers

and sponsored by ClearDebt to help consumers battle the pressure of rising

food costs.

Frugally Delicious isn't a fancy 'coffee-table' cookbook. It's a frugally themed

book, created by real food bloggers and chefs for people who want to make

great food that which won't break the bank. The book features a range of

recipes from light bites and snacks, soups and salads all the way to hearty main

meals and desserts.

Families in the UK have been battling with high inflation and sluggish wage

growth. The average household in the UK spends 11% of its weekly expenditure

on food. The price of food in May was up 4.3% on 2011 levels - the same rate

of increase as recorded in April. Compared to the rest of the EU food and non-

alcoholic drink prices have risen by considerably more in the UK since

June

2007

; three times as much as

France

and 2.7 times as much as in

Germany

.

The book is a budget-friendly £3.30 /

$5.29

excluding postage and packing.

Andrew Smith at ClearDebt said, "Too often cookbooks require lots of new

ingredients and often use items that are expensive, making great cooking on a

budget very difficult. The rising cost of food is a real concern for the vast

majority of UK households, we wanted to create a book that was full of recipes

that anyone can make that don't cost a fortune to help consumers deal with the

pressure of rising food costs." "The excitement of each blogger at seeing their

recipe and blog published in the cookbook has been an unexpected bonus. It is

a great feeling to have helped get their talents recognised."
