Book Reviews of The Healthy College Cookbook
Book Review: This book is a winner for a cooking novice to a genuine foodie!
Summary: 5 Stars
Toss the Ramen Noodles and Indulge!
I actually bought this book as a gift for a friend who was both getting married AND going to graduate school all in the same year. I put it together with a gift basket...She has no cooking experience.
And she said it has been one of her most used gifts!
That said, upon leafing through her own copy, I bought a second book...for myself...in spite of the fact that I love to cook and have been doing so for MANY years. The recipes are quick, delicious, imaginative, and (a great thing in this economy) inexpensive too!
It's a very thorough book even for someone who only wants to own ONE cookbook. Ever.
There are loads of recipes and varied tastes within...from fish, to beef, to chicken, even vegetarian and vegan recipes are included...even for those who aren't vegetarians those recipes are GOOD hearty ones that cross-over well to carnivores and come in handy even if just cooking for vegetarian friends. But there are plenty of meat and potatoes so if you never want to eat a legume or vegetable you are still in luck! It just has a huge variety of bites.
The recipes are diverse. Lots of good hearty American fare, but intermingled with Chinese, Indian, and Italian recipes. Also, there's everything from appetizers to breakfasts to salads to sandwiches to main dishes and desserts.
I found the ingredients to be ones that could easily be found and the recipes to be simple enough for the beginner cook...and fast for those on the go who still like good food.
there are even some great recipes to help throughout life...such as how to make croutons!
We've enjoyed the huevos rancheros. blueberry coffee cake, breakfast burritos and orange french toast for breakfast.
You can't lose with the fettucine alfredo, chicken and mushrooms, chicken fiesta salad, honey dijon salmon, lasagna, mexican lasagna, slow cooked barbecue chicken, chicken soup (lots of good soups and stews)
and the chocolate souffle and apple cobbler are great endings!
While it is great for a college student learning to cook and short on time and money, I think any cook who loves good food can benefit. Lots of healthy dishes and hearty meals for anyone..
and for those who want the basics, there is even help knowing what basic kitchen tools are.
Summary of The Healthy College Cookbook
For nearly a decade, The Healthy College Cookbook has offered time-pressed, budget-crunched students a simple way to enjoy home cooking in their own small apartment kitchens or even dorm rooms. Written by students for students, the book offers hundreds of simple, healthful alternatives to dreary cafeteria fare. The first edition was so successful it returned to print 17 times.Now, this best-selling cookbook has been revised, expanded, and enlivened for a new generation of students. One hundred brand-new recipes have been added to the old favorites, including expanded breakfast options, recipes for the ever-popular George Foreman Grill, new smoothie creations, and pizza toppings for storebought crusts, English muffins, and pita bases. Recipes require only a handful of easy-to-find ingredients. The book is packed with vegetarian options, and every recipe is as nutritious as it is delicious. Most can be prepared in less time than it takes to order pizza.
Most college students are new to cooking, and The Healthy College Cookbook contains a wealth of information and tips for the novice. It explains cooking terms, describes common spices, and offers basic, sensible advice on stocking a kitchen with equipment and food staples.
The book isn't just for novices, however. Even the most discerning young palates will appreciate zesty Garlic Green Beans with Tofu or lively Mandarin-Mint Salad. These recipes are so quick, so inexpensive, and so delicious that they're bound to become dinner party favorites, years past graduation.
