4 slices of black pudding (optional)
4 slices of bread (for toasting)

In a large frying pan over medium heat, cook the sausages until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove and keep warm.

In the same pan, add the bacon slices and fry until crispy. Remove and keep warm.
Prepare the baked beans:
In a small saucepan, heat the baked beans over low heat until warmed through.

Cook the eggs:
You can fry or scramble the eggs in the same pan, using a little butter if needed. Cook them to your desired doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Fry the black pudding (if using):
If you’re including black pudding, add it to the frying pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy.
Toast the bread:
Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a griddle until golden brown. Spread with butter.
Serve:
Plate the dish:
Arrange the sausages, bacon, eggs, baked beans, tomatoes, and black pudding (if using) on a large plate. Serve with the toasted bread on the side.

Free book: Sandwich Wrap & Bun Recipes
About the Book:
Never have a boring lunch again. Sandwiches are great for an easy-going, laid back meal. If you are tired of the same old peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, then this free cookbook is the sandwich recipe source for you!
Use ‘Delicious Sandwich, Wrap & Bun Recipes’ to make great sandwiches to share at your next picnic, backyard party or drinks party.
Here are three to get you started!:
Avocado Bacon Sandwiches
1/4 pound bacon slices, chopped
1 ripe avocado
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons butter, softened
4 large slices whole wheat bread
Lemon twist and parsley sprig, to garnish
Fry bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
Peel avocado, taking care not to remove bright green flesh just inside the skin. Cut in half and remove seed. In a bowl, mash avocado, then stir in lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Butter two slices of bread. Spread avocado mixture on buttered sides of 2 bread slices. Scatter bacon over avocado. Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered sides down, and press together.
Cut off bread crusts. Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles. Arrange on a serving plate, garnished with a lemon twist and parsley sprig.
Beef Sandwiches with Onion Marmalade
Serves 4.
3/4 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
1 cup white or yellow onion, chopped
1 cup purple onion, chopped
3 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons oil
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Dash ground gloves
4 French rolls (6-inches)
4 endive or lettuce leaves
To make Onion Marmalade, sauté onions in oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat 1 hour or until very tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and ground cloves. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally 25-30 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Cool completely.
Refrigerate in a tightly covered container up to 1 week.
To assemble sandwiches, bring onion mixture to room temperature. Place endive or lettuce leaves on bottom halves of toasted rolls. Arrange beef over endive. Spread onion mixture evenly over beef. Place top halves on rolls. Cut each sandwich in half.
Cuban Sandwich
Use leftover Roast Pork a la Criolla for this sandwich if you have any. This sandwich is a favorite in Miami, Florida, as it was first made by the Hispanic community there. Since it is eaten in the wee hours, after an evening of dancing and music, the Cuban Sandwich is sometimes known as «Medica Noche» (midnight), especially when made on the soft, sweet egg sandwich roll available from Cuban bakeries.
Split a Cuban or a submarine roll in half lengthwise; spread each roll half with prepared mustard and layer sandwich with one ounce each thinly sliced roast pork, Swiss cheese and deli ham; add sliced dill or bread and butter pickles and close sandwich. Lightly butter outside surface of roll and grill on a hot griddle or in a 400 degrees F oven until lightly toasted and cheese is melted

About the Book:
If you are cooking on a budget, this free book of recipes is designed to ensure you and those around you are eat good, nourishing food, while being practical, and economical. And that you minimize food waste at the same time. It is important to consider that your food choices have consequences for the folks who consume your meals.
Intended to inspire you, these recipes are easy to prepare and are adaptable to your taste and of course the price of available ingredients. So you don’t have to follow a recipes precisely or make it again in exactly the same way. These recipes are vegetable based but you may of course can replace with meat if you wish.
The structure of this cookbook reflects the way I think people ought to approach home cooking—loosely and confidently, with an intent to answer the basic questions that animate life.
For example, when I make a meal, I am simultaneously trying to answer several questions. What do I, and those I’m feeding, feel hungry for? What do I have on hand or left over from other meals? How can I use healthy produce, unfamiliar ingredients, or fresh food from local farms and businesses? How can I incorporate my favourite flavours?
As I answer these questions, I ensure that I am eating well and nourishing those around me. That I am practical and frugal. That I am conscious that my food choices have consequences for others. That I want to limit waste. And that I want to make the best, most lively food for me and those I love to feed.
These are not small decisions. They have a great deal of weight, yet we make them every day, often without thinking. Cooking regularly makes you more conscious about these decisions. It is empowering to be in control of what you eat and to realize that your food choices have as much power to shape society as they do to quell your hunger.
I want you to be able to answer all these questions for yourself. That is why my recipes are open and adaptable. They are meant to inspire, to remind you that you don’t have to follow a recipe exactly or make a sandwich the same way twice. These recipes happen to be vegetarian because I am vegetarian, but they could as easily incorporate meat or anything you enjoy.
This is how I cook and how I believe others should look at food preparation—easy and practical and enhancing each day. Cooking should not be a chore, but something to look forward to. Food should make you feel more alive, more socially connected. I hope this free PDF book can help you with that.

Excerpt:
VEGETABLE ‘FAT’ FOR FRYING
These recipes use the word ‘Fat’ because, as in the case of butter, fats are not aways in the form of oil. For ordinary frying use good butter or your favourite vegetable oil; for deep fat or high-heat frying use a good brand of cooking-oil with a high smoke-point, like sunflower oil.
Steer clear of cooking with oils like Canola or Rapeseed Oil, (the same product, made from Oil Seed Rape), which originally was declared unfit for human consumption: in 1956 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned rapeseed oil for human consumption due to high levels of toxic Erucic Acid. It was at the time used only as a bio-diesel fuel to power engines (tractors!) Today, the plant has been genetically modified to remove a high percentage of the toxin: the EU (see EFSA abstract) still allows a percentage in most food products. Even though there should not be any in our food. Alarmingly, rapeseed oil is now used in just about every processed food on the planet: from infant formula (can you believe it?) to leading brands of mayonnaise (yes, you pay extra for whipped-up Canola/Rapeseed oil!) Next time you are shopping, read the ingredients of as many products as you can and see how many have this oil listed. You will be shocked! Rapeseed oil is currently the cheapest for food manufacturers to buy, which equates to more profit because the discount is not passed on to you, the consumer. Nature added a toxin to warn us not to consume this plant, and now the food marketers call this oil “natural” and “healthy”. But they would, wouldn’t they? The latest confidence trick you will see on shelves is bottles of ‘Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil’: they actually have the audacity to try and fleece the consumer by comparing this gunk to olive oil! At least in Canada and the United States the marketers branded it Canola (sounds pleasant doesn’t it?) However, in the UK it is idiotically branded, Rapeseed: what? Rape and Seed? Imagine how victims of this monstrous sexual assault feel when they read the word on almost every processed food label? Please share these points on social media to encourage debate because everyone has a right to know about what they are being forced to ingest … and to question why we were never told.
SEASONING
The subject of seasoning is indeed holy ground in culinary matters, and after much thought and experiment I have decided that the phrase so deplored by some cooks, “season to taste,” is after all not the worst one to use. No such inaccurate directions were to appear in this cook-book when planned, but I have finally decided with the army of wiser cooks who have preceded me that accurate measurements in seasoning are dangerous to success. Not only do tastes vary, but much depends on the time the seasoning is added, on the rapidity with which the food is cooking, etc. With this in mind, and very long prejudice against the old phrase above mentioned, I have compromised and frequently been tempted to state quantities of salt and pepper, usually regretting when I have. The truth is, unless one can “season to taste” one cannot cook palatable dishes, and my final word on the subject is that it is well to always use a little more salt and pepper than seems advisable, and then just before serving add a little more!
THICKENING
In thickening sauces and soups, ordinary flour can always be used and cornstarch also, and as a rule I have said “flour” only in these recipes, but have only refrained from always advising potato-flour because it would have confused many who cannot obtain it in America. In Germany it is always used, and when it can be had is far nicer for thickening all vegetable sauces and soups than any other sort of flour.
GELATINE
Instead of the usual gelatine use arrowroot or a gelatine advertised to be purely vegetable. One tablespoon is usually allowed to 1 pint of liquid, but experiments must be made and there will usually be directions found with the package.
CANNED GOODS
It seems to be a habit with many people to decry the use of canned vegetables, although I believe there are few households which subsist without them. My experience is that the best grades of canned vegetables are often far sweeter and better, fresher in fact, than vegetables that can be bought in city markets. The housekeeper should make it a point to know which brands she prefers and to trade where she can get them; and where no retailer carries them she can usually obtain cases containing two dozen each from the preservers themselves. A little trouble taken in the autumn to stock the store-room, instead of ordering “a can of peas” now and then at random, saves time and trouble in the end. Among the canned vegetables which are put up and sealed the day they are picked by the best firms are beets, peas, corn, spinach, hard-shelled beans, tomatoes, stringless beans, wax beans, mushrooms, pimentos, okra, okra-tomato, asparagus, etc.; and the saving of time and labour in the preparation of beans, spinach, and beets especially, is worth consideration. People make the mistake of merely warming up canned goods and then serving them, whereas when the can is opened the vegetables are only ready to be seasoned and finished as they would be had they been boiled at home. Good canned vegetables are not easy to improve upon, and I serve them constantly to people who will not easily credit my statement that they are not so-called “fresh” vegetables.
