Marks and Spencer launches new family meals for under £2 per person

RECIPES designed to feed a family of four for a fiver are being served up by M&S.

The retailer has teamed up with Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge for a “Remarksable Value” budget meal planner.

Launching today, it includes recipes such as chipotle chicken thighs with herby rice and crispy bacon potato cake with perfect poached egg.

It come as a survey revealed the cost of living is top of M&S shoppers’ concerns, beating another wave of Covid.

Kerridge’s posh gastro pub, the Hand and Flowers, sells £85 fillet of beef.

But he grew up in a single parent household on a council estate, and says planning is key on a budget.

He added: “Build together the recipes you’re going to cook, and only buy what you need — a little bit of structure works really well.”

Marks & Spencer has put a lid on prices for all the ingredients included in its five recipes which come in at under £2 a person.
