College Cookbook An Alternative to the Meal Plan

From the dining halls and into dorm rooms with improvised cooking facilities or off-campus apartments with complete kitchens, today's students are developing a definite "student cuisine." The trend is toward more healthful menus that economize not only on preparation time and cooking space, but also on budgets -- hard hit by rising tuition costs and cuts in student aid. Here are 200 original recipes from more than 55 different colleges and universities across the country. Recipes range from the University of Colorado's Vegetable-Beef Soup to Columbia's Spoonburgers to Prescott College's Butterscotch Brownies, and span every possible student culinary requirement including "Things to Eat When You Have to Stay Up All Night Studying." An experienced cook, the author offers cooking hints; advice on using herbs, seeds, and spices; basic instructions for the first-time cook; a table of substitutions; and a glossary of cooking terms. Whether you cook occasional meals in the dorm kitchen or you are on your own and love to try nutritious, innovative, hassle-free recipes, The College Cookbook is required reading for you. Great for singles, working couples, and retirees, too!Harrington, Geri is the author of 'College Cookbook An Alternative to the Meal Plan' with ISBN 9780882664972 and ISBN 0882664972.
