Would you recommend the Mumsnet cookbook to someone in my situation?

I have lots of cookbooks but cook pretty basic daily meals which are getting really boring. Money is fairly tight and we shop at Aldi, try to meal plan and keep costs down. We are a family of two adults a toddler and a fussy 4 year old... do you think the Mumsnet cookbook would be a good buy for me, those that have it? TIA Smile

By basic I mean stuff like roast chicken, rice and salad, fajitas, pasta with various sauces, pork chops and veg, sausages etc... So not bread and butter but not terribly exciting either...

I have the cookbook and have enjoyed lots of the recipes so far. Lots of them have easy to get or storecupboard ingredients but are more interesting than basic meals. Two adults and 10 year old DS in our house.
I do a fair bit of my shopping in Aldi too.
Cookbook itself is £9 in Tesco. Only drawback for us is we don't have a slowcooker as don't fancy one but there is a slowcooker section in the book. These recipes could be adapted though.

It's definitely worth having, although if money is tight maybe you could see if your local library has a copy? My library lets people request and reserve books for £1.

The BBC good food web site has a tonnes of recipe's on there, so you don't really need a cook book Smile
