Frugal Gastronomy was born out of Mary’s creative mind (and stomach). The desire to eat restaurant quality food at a lower price point at home.

She has the motivation and unique ability to crave something, look up some recipes out there, and modify them to taste even better.

She has the ability to eat something at a restaurant and think about how it could have been better, then come home and recreate it with her twist.

She also has the uncanny ability to find a deal and shop the sales so we have the ingredients at home so when she craves something, she doesn’t need to run out and pay full price or even “Overpay” for convenience.

She started this blog and her website to pass on this knowledge on to other foodies to enjoy……
