Review
what students say: "As a self confessed cookery dummy I found this book to be extremely useful. Its fun, easy to use, interesting and even my MUM uses it...a bargain price.A" "This book was a present just before leaving for uni. I have now finished my 2nd year and its my bible! ...the recipes are all really easy and inexpensive." "A beautifully illustrated book .. It's easy to follow & you don't need tons of equipment - not even scales!" "This book is absolutely amazing. I started university not being able to cook and now I cook shepherd's pie, curry and full roast dinners just a year afterwards." "This book has revolutionized my eating habits! A menu for a week and planning what to buy will revolutionize spending habits too." "If your child is starting uni please buy them this book because I really do not know how I would have got through uni without it." what mums say: "Beware! May reduce phone calls home...From what I can gather, this book has been in daily use in my daughter's new household for the last 6 weeks... she's almost stopped phoning up to say How do I cook this?!" "I sent my lad off to university with a variety of student cookery books alongside a slow cooker. The slow cooker remains unused as are the other books - apart from this one. He shares a house with 5 lads, they all use this book." "My son never used to do any cooking, but now he cooks for himself every day! My daughter starts University in October so I got one for her too." "I will definitely buy a few more as gifts for friends' sons and daughters - excellent value!" "Joy May's guide teaches you how to use affordable and easy-to-get ingredients to make simple recipes that are a lot more exciting than the usual pasta or beans on toast" From Metro's Five Essential ReadsA" for students --Various Customers

Book Description
This recipe book was inspired by the writer's son who left for university with virtually no cooking ability. He did, however, like to eat!
There are 96 full colour pages with photographs of each recipe - most students seem to complain that "they can't see what it looks like" and so they don't bother.
No measuring scales are required - only a mug, tablespoon and teaspoon. These are found in student kitchens but not much more!
The stitched and glued spine, heavy plastic cover and glossy pages allow it to be laid out flat without damage and rubbed clean easily. All this makes it ideal for "challenging" student kitchen environments.
The recipes are planned so that you need the minimum of pans, dishes and utensils.
The star ratings ***** are an indication of how easy the recipes are.
Most of the meals in the book are healthy and well balanced but there is the odd over indulgent one!
Approximately half the recipes are either vegetarian or have a vegetarian alternative. If you are a "fish eating vegetarian" then there are plenty of recipes for you also.

A Value For Money Book For Value For Money Meals!,

This review is from: Nosh 4 Students: A Fun Student Cookbook. See every recipe in FULL COLOUR. (Paperback)
This book has revolutionised my eating habits!
The idea of writing a menu for a week and thus planning what you need to buy will also revolutionise your spending habits too. Gone are the days of a freezerful of expensive processed foods, The days of healthy, fun, real food and cooking are here! Everything about the book is brilliantly thought out, from the font and pictures to the dish difficulty rating and the "how long can I keep this....?" section. The recipes are mostly quick, use a minimum of equipment and are healthy too - packed full of good, inexpensive vegetables. One of the best things I've discovered is the ease with which you can modify a recipe. You can generally add and subtract according to your tastes. I never stick to the sample menus (I'm fussy), but I'll make my own up. Recipe's I highly recommend: -Monday Pie -Creamy Chicken -Pasta & Chicken Bake -Sausage Pie

This guide for students is excellent.
I have had 3 children go through the formative experience of cooking for themselves and their pals at university. As a teacher of 6th form students I wanted to give them good advice on "Healthy eating for a healthy bank balance" and lots of my own children's views are echoed by Joy May. The book is set out in such a way that you are lead to the next section from the previous one, everything is brought back to basics so everyone can have a go at the excellent, extensive recipes. If you are going to university in the near future, buy this book, it will repay its value several times.

My friend bought me this book as a birthday present as I enjoy cooking and will be off to uni this September. I have made many of the meals inside (chicken noodles went down very well!) and have found them to be delicious, healthy and inexpensive. The meals aren't hard to make and it really opens your eyes to what you can do. I've even started experimenting myself! The layout is easy to read and the instructions are simple. It's a must for anyone who doesn't know how to cook and enjoys food. I would rate higher if I could!
