Recipes for Recession --- Dinner for under a fiver!!!

Today sees G2 kicking off another week-long food special featuring delicious budget recipes from a stellar lineup of chefs. By the end of this week everyone will have five new dinner ideas - main courses and puddings - which will feed two people for under a fiver.

Starting with Delia Smith's cheese, onion, potato and sage soufflé, followed by rhubarb and ginger brûlée (both exclusive, new recipes), the
series also stars Jamie Oliver, Sam Clark of Moro, the River Cafe's Rose Gray, and our very own Yotam Ottolenghi.

Mostly the ingredients will be easy to find but there is the odd bit of, say, orange blossom water (damn that Ottolenghi - he certainly knows how to keep food interesting though). The cost of the ingredients has been worked out in terms of how much is used per recipe, so it'll be up to us home cooks to make sure we use up any extra or leftover bit and pieces in other imaginative ways - which is, after all, how proper cookery was always meant to be. Orange blossom water is lovely with fruity summer puddings, in yoghurt and middle eastern lamb dishes and salads, or in refreshing drinks, so there's no excuse to leave the bottle languishing in the back of the cupboard.

What would make us at G2 most happy would be if you'd let us know how these recipes work out for you. Take a picture, even, and if you'd like it to appear on these pages post it on the WoM flickr group. Be sure to give your photograph the tag 'dinner for under £5' so we can find it in the photostream, and do let us know how the recipe worked out in the description of the photo.

Can't wait to see everyone's yumelicious handiwork.
