Student Cooking

Who says that students live on a crappy diet of baked beans and fast food?

Well, to be honest who ever said that is spot on because it is a known fact that students prefer to spend their hard earned loan on alcohol and clothes rather than stuff like decent food.

But no more. The Food Guru is here to supply you with cuisine from our very own recipe books that have tried and tested easy to make meals for the absolute novice out there.

If you have never really got into cooking before, now is a good time to learn. A decent meal does not have to be expensive and does not have to take hours to make.

The Guru has a set list of meals that can be made with a group of friends to help save everyone a bit of dollar for those extra few rounds.

And this list will be updated regularly so you will never get bored of having the same meal every time.

So, have a go and if you cock it up try again. There is nothing better than a home cooked meal to get rid of that twelve hour hangover.

A good winter warmer this one, and pretty filling.
