Book Reviews of The Starving Students' Cookbook
Book Review: Good for Quick Eats
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great book for the "starter" cook, which even though I bought this a few years ago, I still am due to laziness. There's a handy list of things to buy so that you can have a decently stocked pantry, and I used that when I went off to college. I appreciate the simpleness of the cooking, and that it shows you how to make your own salad dressing, sauces, etc. This is pretty much "cooking edible things" for dummies. The only thing I didn't have great success with was cooking sauces by microwave. The strangest 'tip' was to use your sink as a punch bowl...I don't know anyone that would drink from that. In all, this isn't a book for people with 'sophisticated' taste buds, just people who want to eat something decent (good but not great) that's homemade. It's a great introduction if you've never cooked before. I did laugh out loud when I saw the directions on how to scramble, fry or boil eggs...so it really is a novice book. Best thing I made was the stir-fry, using soy sauce and ketchup! And one of the recipes for tequila fish by microwave, I would probably make again in the oven.
One tip: as someone who favors 'plain' food, some of the things I cooked from this were on the bland side, so I would experiment with your seasoning as you go through the recipes. I gave it 4 stars because that's a minor detail...everyone should season as they go.
