Book Reviews of The Healthy College Cookbook
Book Review: Recipies a bit complicated for college kids
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this for a friend whose daughter is leaving for college soon. She's been complaining she's going to starve because she doesn't know how to cook. After reviewing it, I decided not to give it to her. I think most of the recipes are just too complicated for the typical college student, and some of the ingredients are not easily found in a small college town. I'll keep searching for another one.Book Review: Did anyone proof read this?
Summary: 2 Stars
Maybe its just bad luck.. but the first two recipes i try turned out awful... there seem to be issues with the amounts of ingredients.. for a cream sauce..it told me to use 1.5 CUPS of flowers with 1.25 cups of milk... i guess i shouldn't have blindly followed the recipes.. so it was a big waste of time and ingredients.. and it came out with a big floury goo mess...
most of the recipes seem pretty basic. it would be a good tool for learning i don't continue to find typos..
Book Review: WARNING: Do Not Buy
Summary: 1 Stars
I received this book as a gift and since I love cooking, I immediately began using recipes from it. BIG mistake. This is one of the worst cookbooks I have ever used. First, it assumes that college students eat tiny portions; for example, the chili recipe is listed as "serves 6" but it was barely enough food for me and two friends. Also, several of the recipes turned out terribly despite my efforts to follow the instructions exactly. Tiny portions and absurd instructions make this a terrible cookbook for college students or anyone. NOT recommended.
