The Healthy College Cookbook Review

I got this book for both of my daughters as they are just getting appartments for their new school year.
They just started using some of the recipes in this book to practice on us at home.
We like the recipe choices. This is a book that they will use at college.

The Healthy College Cookbook Overview

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.

Customer Reviews

Okay for true beginners - 5ft2 -
So, I bought this book a few days ago and have tried three recipes so far. The first was a total flop. There must be an error, but be forewarned, do NOT make the Blueberry Coffee Cake as it comes out as inedible mush--WAY too much water. The other two recipes (mac and cheese and grilled cheese with tomato) were decent for quick lunches or dinners. They were average in taste, but considering the short amount of time it took to make them, I'm okay with that. All in all, it's a nice idea book to get creative with everyday ingredients, but with errors and only average taste, I give it three stars.

Good starter cookbook. - Jordan's Mom -
I bought this cookbook for my son, and he and his roommates have tried quite a few of the recipes. They don't ask for unusual ingredients or a lot of cooking expertise, and most of the recipes can be made fairly quickly.

Recipies a bit complicated for college kids - P. Spradlin - Virginia
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.
