Whether in dorm rooms with improvised cooking facilities or off-campus apartments with complete kitchens, today's students are developing a definite "student cuisine." The trend is toward more healthful menus that economize not only on prep time and cooking space, but also on budgets -- which have been hard hit by rising tuition costs and cuts in student aid.
Here are 200 original recipes from more than 50 colleges and universities across the United States. Recipes range from the University of Colorado's Vegetable-Beef Soup to Columbia's Spoonburgers to Prescott College's Butterscotch Brownies, and they span every possible student culinary requirement, including "Things to Eat When You Have to Stay Up All Night Studying."
The author offers cooking hints; advice on using herbs, seeds, and spices; basic instructions for the first-time cook; a table of substitutions; and a glossary of cooking terms.
Whether you cook occasional meals in the dorm or are on your own and would love to try nutritious, innovative, hassle-free recipes, The College Cookbook is required reading. Great for singles, working couples, and retirees, too!
