5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't have survived college and post-college without it!, January 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Starving Students' Cookbook: The Classic Guide for the Clueless Gourmet! (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yummy! Easy to use; great for students, kids, klutzy cooks.., July 22, 1998

This review is from: The Starving Students' Cookbook: The Classic Guide for the Clueless Gourmet! (Paperback)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Beginners on a Budget, March 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Starving Student's Cookbook (Paperback)

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.
