Notes

A Cookbook for Poor Poets (and Others) by Ann Rogers is a meditation on living well with limited means. Blending practicality with romance, it treats frugality as a creative virtue rather than a hardship. The recipes range from comfortably old-fashioned to surprisingly adventurous for their time, pairing canned staples with once-exotic spices. Beneath the cooking advice lies a broader philosophy: quality need not be sacrificed to thrift, and thoughtful simplicity in the kitchen reflects a richer, more intentional way of life.
