I live in Spain and have an electric oven which is considerably more costly to run here than in UK. I would certainly not consider this a credit crunch recipe if the oven is on for 7 hours !!! in the UK let alone at Spanish electricity prices.

to ease the pressure on MF and the BP of those who dont want to leave their cookers on all night--buy a slow cooker

i know i sound slightly mental but it is possible to cook lovely tasty food without leaving the oven on all night (aga's are unresponsive rubbish. its gas and fan for me)

brian turner manages lovely baked beans in 3 hours and even heston blumenthal only takes 4 hours baking (+4 hours for his tomato fondue)

never mind food for a fiver, how about letting us know the carbon cost of recipes. money wont be of any use once the planet becomes uninhabitable due to climate change.
