Welcome to the Poverty Kitchen

It’s 2024, the fifth year of the post-COVID socio-economic landscape.
I’ve heard from several people, from 20-somethings to retirees:
“We need a toolkit to survive in this world!”
A world similar to one that few people recall: The Great Depression.
Product scarcity. Everything is so expensive. Everyone is so stressed all the time.

Our goal is to provide guidance.
A discussion, on making sound economic choices in your meal planning, recipe selection, purchases of kitchen tools, and how you shop for groceries.
We will also delve into kitchen gardening while knowing that for many, even a sunny window is out of the question.
We’ll likely explore urban guerilla gardening, cooperative growing, and farmer markets.

What we won’t do: You won’t find recipes buried under infinite scrolling.
Sure, it would be nice to cover the costs associated with this site, and the hours necessary to post content, so there may be some affiliate links employed in posts.
What you won’t endure is a recap of 1965, when all that you seek is a recipe for a Pomodoro Fresco e Basilico (a sauce of fresh tomatoes with basil).
That drives me crazy.

I get it.
You loved spending time at your grandmother’s house, and here are all of your memories that make this recipe so nostalgic, so iconic, so asked for by your family.
However, that tale is so loaded with lifestyle blog pop-ups and active links, that skipping to the recipe is a three-click ordeal plus scrolling past the pop-up ad for Instacart! grrrr…)
For the rest of us…
I got 20 minutes to whack some food together so as Father Vinny would say:
skip ahead… skip ahead…
That said, welcome to The Poverty Kitchen. To contact us use the link provided.
