I bought this book for my son who’s soon leaving for college, in different city, for the first time. I find this book perfect for my son and any college student because the recipes included are quick and easy to make and the author definitely seems to have taken into consideration that college students don’t have much time to give to cooking and looking for elusive ingredients.The book starts off by covering the basics of what food components actually make a meal nutritious, what kind of foods must be avoided etc. And then it goes on to share several recipes for a complete meal, lunch/dinner as well as easy-to-make desserts! I tried the banana bread recipe and my son made mushroom pie, both turned out delicious!Something I really like and appreciate in this book is that before every recipe, it describes why that meal is healthy and wholesome, especially for a college student. The author has also highlighted interesting facts about the ingredients used in the recipes. A few I liked were, how cabbages can be used in various ways, health benefits of coriander, and how it works nicely as a natural spice. This book actually takes you through the cooking process for each recipe so it’s great for beginners and even people who are already good at cooking but are looking for some solid healthy food info and some awesome recipes. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
