Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role — showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.
早上好,英国的苏珊娜·里德(Susanna Reid)习惯了每天早上在沙发上审问嘉宾,但在她的最新角色中,她正在烹饪一场风暴——向家庭展示如何在紧张的预算下准备美味营养的餐点。

In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s leant into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam,14, Finn,13, and Jack, 11.
在《省钱:美食》节目中,她每周访问一个不同的家庭,并在厨师马特·特巴特(Matt Tebbutt)的帮助下,提供如何减少食物浪费的顶级建议,同时准备每人每天不超过5英镑的食谱。而这位《早安英国》的主持人表示,她已经能够在自己家中实践了很多她学到的东西,为14岁的山姆(Sam)、13岁的芬恩(Finn)和11岁的杰克(Jack)准备餐点。

“We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,” she explains. “I pay £5 for a portion(一份), but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves. “
“我们喜欢墨西哥吉事果(churros),所以我会在手机上从当地的墨西哥外卖餐厅订购,”她解释说。“我花5英镑买一份,但马特制作的成本只有26便士一份,因为它们只需要面粉、水、糖和油。每个人都可以买外卖食品,但有时我们并不知道我们可以如此便宜地自己制作这些食物。”

The eight-part series(系列节目), Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.
这个八集系列节目《省钱:美食》跟随了ITV的《省钱:健康》的脚步,后者为观众提供了如何在市面上众多健康产品中获得价值的建议。
