Description
You have a midterm tomorrow and a fierce growl in your stomach. Your roommate just nabbed your last cup o' ramen. Do you: (A) Ignore your stomach and brew another pot of coffee? (B) Break out the PB&J? (C) Order pizza—again? (D) Make a quick trip to the grocery store? The answer's D, and College Cooking is the only study guide you'll need. Sisters Megan and Jill Carle know all about leaving a well-stocked kitchen to face an empty apartment fridge with little time to cook and very little money. They practically grew up in their parents' kitchen, but even that didn't prepare them for braving the supermarket aisles on their own. That's why they wrote COLLEGE COOKING—to share the tips and tricks they've learned while feeding themselves between late-night studying, papers, parties, and other distractions. Starting with kitchen basics, Megan and Jill first cover ingredients, equipment, and other prereqs for cooking a decent meal. They then provide more than ninety simple yet tasteworthy recipes—hearty home-style dishes, study-break snacks, healthy salads, sweet treats, and more (along with low-cal and veggie options). You'll find easy and cheap-to-make dishes, like: Tortilla Soup • Chili with Green Chile Cornbread • Chicken Salad Pita Sandwiches • Baked Penne Pasta with Italian Sausage • What's-in-the-Fridge Frittata • Peanut Butter Cup Bars • Brownie Bites You'll also find recipes for feeding a household of roommates, maximizing leftovers, cooking for a dinner date, and hosting parties with minimal prep and cost. Just consider COLLEGE COOKING your crash course in kitchen survival—and required reading for off-campus living. Reviews: “College Cooking is a must-pack, along with the fry pan and the blender, for those going back to college or starting this year.” —Arizona Republic “The recipes are quick, easy, and simple.” —Kansas City Star “This is reasonable food reasonably fast. I was going too give the cookbook to someone in college, but no way. This is going straight into my collection.” —Oakland Tribune Read more

What is very cool for someone who is gonna have to go grocery ...
This book is very well done! There is an intro where they explain what you should always have in your pantry. What is very cool for someone who is gonna have to go grocery shopping for their apartment for the first time. I tried few recipes and they were delicious! They are also very cheap. I spend around $10 for each meal and I usually have left over for lunch the next day. It is perfect for college students! Also, there are tips on each page to stay healthy or even to save money. It is a perfect recipe book for me!

Great Cook Book for College Student
Purchased this for my daughter because she is living in an apartment this semester instead of living in a dorm with a meal plan. She has only had the book for a week and has found several recipes she is excited to make!! The book has great photos of the dishes and is written in plain language, easy to understand with recipes that are 'do-able'.

Still using 17 years later
I have now had this cookbook for 17 years... I bought it in 2008. It has made countless moves with me and I still reach for it. It is perfect for someone just learning how to cook and has great recipes. I went to amazon to see how long I have had it and wanted to leave a review because of the longevity of the cookbook.

Great for newly hatched adults.
Great for instant food eaters and other newly hatched adults who have a very limited understanding of kitchens and food after home and dorm living. Easy and good explanations for novice cooks but suggestiong on how to make food for self plus a group of friends. Very useful.
