2.0 out of 5 stars no student I know..., August 8, 2003

This review is from: The (Reluctant , Nervous, Lazy, Broke, Busy, Confused) College Student's Cookbook (Spiral-bound)

My going-off-to-college student is all the title implies. I wish, I wish, I wish the recipes lived up to the other reviews. This assumes you have more of a stocked kitchen to work with and will be interested in starting from scratch. There are actually words like "homemade mild tomato salsa" and "toasted pine nuts". There's alot of explanation...more words than recipes, I think. This is very readable, very cute, and looks like pretty good food, but not for the hungry, harried college student in a dorm who isn't going to roast peppers or go get fennel, celeriac or even fresh broccoli.

2.0 out of 5 stars reluctant cook, August 28, 2003

This is cute and well-written but it is only for a college cook who has access to a full kitchen and is motivated to buy unusual products. It does not work for a starving dorm guy. It is better suited for an urban apartment dweller with a nice market nearby.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for those with a general idea on how to cook, January 4, 2006

I purchased this book from Amazon and received it today, and I am sending it back tomorrow. It is geared towards people who have NO IDEA how to cook, yet the recipes are for food that most college aged students wouldn't eat.

I was looking for a cook book that had general recipes as opposed to specific items (Italian, Spanish, etc) and was hoping a College Student Cookbook would be the best bet. Don't get me wrong this book does cover a wide area of foods but how many college students eat Bean Sprout Julienne?

The book does not have as many recipes as you would expect from a 98 page book. I would really only recommend this to someone who has no idea what they are doing in the kitchen.
