Format:Paperback
This is a must have for any student going to Uni, I liked the light hearted way it has been written , from someone who has been to Uni ,has easy to follow recipes , good ideas for leftovers which many cook books don't have .
I also thought the section on cooking terms was very good, as many new cooks may not know some of these found in other cook books.
Altogether a very good book, the only student cook book you would need to buy any one going to Uni that is unsure about cooking.

A good cookbook with LOADS of recipes however there a some that I'm not very keen on (although that's to be expected).
There are no photos in this book, I enjoy photos in cookbooks as it makes you interested to make something and gives you an idea what it should look like. I also prefer the measuring system of Nosh for Students: A Fun Student Cookbook - See Every Recipe in Full Colour - 30% More Recipes Than Previous Edition as well as the whole layout. This cookbook is very sympathetic for the average level of students however there are some recipes that are easier and some that are more challenging. It also has very varied subsections for different occasions which is helpful.
Overall a good book that's very useful.

The student cookbook for dummies is just as good for us oldies who live alone. The book is full of useful tips as well as recipes. The tips encourage you to think up fresh recipes as well as using the ones in the book. The price makes it one of the best steals on the market and it is very useful for families who on seeing the title think it's not for me. Believe me you could use it to feed the five thousand.
