Gill Holcombe grew up before the culture on convenience and as a mother of three living on a tiny income, has perfected the art of creating delicious food from meagre shopping lists. Her first book, HOW TO FEED YOUR WHOLE FAMILY A HEALTHY BALANCED DIET WITH VERY LITTLE MONEY AND HARDLY ANY TIME . . . has become something of a phenomenon, selling 50,000 copies since its publication in October 2007.
