Synopsis

Created with student life in mind, this collection is positioned as a practical companion from freshers’ week through to graduation, with recipes intended to suit a limited budget. It covers a range of everyday needs, from quick lunches between lectures and simple dinners to meals for sharing with housemates.

The recipes listed include homemade curries, lasagne, fajitas and toad-in-the-hole, alongside ideas for soups, casseroles, jacket potatoes and homemade dips. There are also suggestions for “morning-after” breakfasts and desserts such as banoffee pie and Baileys cheesecake, supported by photos and guidance for cooking in a small shared kitchen.
