Another great cookbook for students with a vegetarian cookbook also available. This cookbook is designed specifically for students when the authors son left for university without knowing how to cook any meals. This book has a key, similar to the last cookbook I reviewed (The Ultimate Student Cookbook), although there are more specific keys such as length of preparation and cooking times separately along with the cost of the meal per person to the penny.
The book has similar categories to the Ultimate, although there are a wider variety:
The basics – with essentials such as budgeting and planning meals for the week
Fast Food
Broke but hungry
One-pot dishes
Something mum might cook
Vegetarian
Something for the weekend
Friends around
Make your own takeaways
Comfort food
Date-Night
Cakes and Cookies
Desserts
These recipes all have photos besides them so you can compare your creations to how they’re supposed to look! There is also a “V” printed next to recipes if they can be made vegetarian (outside of the vegetarian category) such as by using vegetarian meats or changing ingredients. The meals are well organised, making it easy to find exactly what you are looking for, from a quick meal which is cheap with little washing up, to a more expensive meal which takes a bit longer but will impress. There are also snack foods like salad dips and nachos as well, meaning that you’ll never have to phone mum again to ask how to cook!
Recommended for:
Anyone who needs help with cooking.
This is designed for students who are on a tight budget (and notoriously lazy!) but is also suitable for anyone who has trouble with cooking healthy meals for cheap and wants some helpful ideas
Age recommendation:
Any age!
It’s a cookbook, children can either cook recipes with their parents or choose dinner, teens can cook and adults can use it for cheap and tasty ideas!
