Great for young people just out of college,
By A Customer
This review is from: All Grown Up and Nothing to Eat (Paperback)
I heard about this book from a friend who saw it featured this month in the Kansas City Star. It makes a great gift, for graduation at any level or other occasions. It's entertaining, so it's a good buy even if you're not sure how much the recipient will use it to cook. The thing I like best is that it encourages young professionals and college students to use cooking as a way to gain independence and take control of their lives. The recipes have a lot of help in sections called "Thinking it Through" and "Making It Fit," but they still encourage to take a step towards more casual entertaining and cooking with friends.

Great Easy Recipes for College Students!,
By Cyndy (Lawrence, KS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All Grown Up and Nothing to Eat (Paperback)
I found out about this book through a news article in our local paper. I purchased two for my kids - one is in college and one is preparing to go to college. The recipes are easy and tasty. The author has a great sense of humor, too. I have purchased other cookbooks for my kids to take with them when they leave home and I think this is the best! I have tried some of the recipes and really like the easy to follow intructions.
