It wasn't so much college, as right afterwards, when money was tight, and Ramen noodles were considered a staple... The Starving Students Cookbook taught me a lot of really basic, but very tasty dishes that I still use today. My favorites include "Meatloaf Men Like" and "Easy Roast." I highly recommend this book to anyone living away from home for the first time, or who is just strapped for cash.

I first encountered "The Starving Student's Cookbook" the year it was released. Although I was a fairly accomplished cook, I was dealing with an extremely limited budget and a friend gave me the book thinking it might help me to cope. I found it immensely entertaining and, although it was geared to beginners and thus far below my skill level, it had tips that even I could use. If you are new to cooking, on a budget, or know some young (or not so young) person who needs help learning to feed themselves nutritiously and inexpensively, this book is a great place to start. It will teach you the basics with clear, gently humourous instructions.

From breakfast to late night, apple pie to zucchini and eggs, "The Starving Students' Cookbook" has a little something for everyone. By keeping the recipes and ingredients both simple and easy, even the most 'culinary-challenged' person can whip up a great macaroni-tuna casserole previously thought unreachable! Also, this is a good cookbook for kids just learning to cook, and offers a little bit of everything. This is the second edition of "Starving Students'," with the most notable -- and welcome -- addition being the chapter on microwave cooking. All-around good food, cooking and nutrition tips make "The Starving Students' Cookbook" a welcome addition to any kitchen, large or small.

a classic
Most old people can cook better than this, but if you are a student with NO IDEA how to feed yourself, this is much better and cheaper than the next door fast food.

simple for beginners
My college son is learning to cook and really liked how simple and easy this book was. If you know how to cook it would not be as useful.

Great
My wife likes it.
Just like her mother's recipes, only easier.
Whatever you do, don't give them a short answer, it will cost you more letters.

My son the chef
My son looked at this book and said he would try it. Well written (modern student lingo) and easy to follow instructions. Wish I would found this little book years ago.
