As a new generation of school-leavers leaves home, either to university or to seek their fortunes in the outside world, many face the daunting prospect of cooking for themselves for the first time. Rather than resort to a diet of expensive takeaways or anything-on-toast, this great book by 22-year old newcomer Tiffany Goodall shows first-timers how to cook everything they might want to eat. Whilst at university last year, Tiffany wrote From Pasta to Pancakes with a student budget firmly in mind. It covers key basic skills such as how to cook pasta, pizza, pancakes, couscous, rice, or bake a jacket potato, each with many variations, and moves on to explain how to whip up delicious breakfasts, filling lunches, proper dinners and delicious treats. With recipes ranging from Minestrone Soup to perfect Roast Chicken, from Spanish Omelette to Thai Green Curry, and from Chocolate Brownies to Vodka Watermelon, this book will set young adults up for a lifetime of enjoyable cooking. With its brilliant cartoon-strip design, more than 750 photographs and over 90 recipes, From Pasta to Pancakes makes it easy to learn to cook. It explains the things other books assume you know, and crucially, includes photographs to illustrate every step. So, if you need to know what simmering water really looks like, whether your sauce is the right consistency, or how to check whether chicken is properly cooked, you'll find clear instructions next to some handy pictures. Designed with a comic strip twist, and with a photograph of every key step, From Pasta to Pancakes is packed with recipes, colour and helpful tips. It is an ideal partner for those taking their first steps in the kitchen.

I wish this book had been around when I was a student. The recipes are diverse and achievable for anyone with a reasonable amount of equipment and little experience. Over the many years since moving away from the comfort of my mother's cooking I think I've read most popular cook books, watched a lot of cookery programmes and experimented with all sorts, and I have to say that even experienced cooks will approve of these recipes; they really work, which is more than you can say for some of the output from certain celebrity cooks - mentioning no names.
My only criticism - could have more recipes.

This book provides all the information that you could want to create easy satisfying and tasty meals on a student budget. If my freinds had had this at uni then it would not have been down to the pub or the local takeaway every day. Prior knowledge is not required ( a good thing seeing how some students can cook)for the meals in this book and the pictures show you how. Highly recommend.

As I am due to start University in September and have never cooked before my Mum bought me this book to help me learn the basics. The recipes are really easy to follow and offer a range of recipes for all different occasions including drinks and desserts. It teaches you altrenatives for breakfast dinner and tea and also tells you what you can keep and use the next day. This book does not only teach you how to cook but also how to save your pennies and we all know that is important. I seriously reccomend this to anyone starting university soon or to anyone who has never cooked before.
