Cookbooks can't really be produced on the cheap - they're quite large, usually hardcover, with coloured glossy pages...

Well I imagine this one could be quite small, soft covered and black and white sheets paper pages. On sale for 3.99.

Maybe so. For Christmas someone got me a cookbook of "meals in a mug", which was about the size of a short novel, and mostly had just lists of ingredients and instructions, with the occasional picture here and there.

But when it comes to "influencers", I suspect this is more of a Product(tm) than an attempt to help people who are on a budget.

It wasn't from someone who knows me that well, I can actually cook, and some of the things in it are okay.
