THE KITCHENISTA

Cash conscious Brits are turning back the clock according to new research into the nation’s eating habits, it was revealed today.

Traditional favourites are returning to the table as we try and save money on our weekly shopping. Even the legendary money-saving dish of the 1970s, Bubble and Squeak, is making a comeback as we spend more time in the kitchen than ever before!

A nationwide study by Magnet found that a massive 70% of us now cook dinner four times a week or more at home, and almost a quarter of all Brits prepare real home-cooked food in their kitchen every night of the week! We’re completely turning our backs on take-away meals.

The survey also found that more than two-thirds of us admit that we now regularly eat leftovers. Mostly young professionals aged between 25 – 35 – are behind the movement who refuse to waste leftovers from our dinner plates and instead recycle them into new meals the following day – just like their parents did back in the Seventies.
