We found a cookbook written by a student at NYU for their master’s degree in Food Studies.

The recipes in this book have been designed to fit the budgets of people living on SNAP. Around 50.3% of families living in the South Bronx are on SNAP. It is suggested that mathematically, it comes out to $4 per person, per day for food. However, it should be noted that the prices in this book are averaged from four grocery stores in Inwood.

The book also lists great tips on saving money, what to look for when shopping for ingredients, and how to prepare food. Additionally, it estimates how much each dish should cost in total and by serving.

It is available for download below. I’ve attached a few pages for samples.
