I will be sending this book off to college with my daughter when we pack her up to go in a few years. I love that it takes into account the limited cooking appliances and supplies that she is likely to have. The recipes are easy and they are for foods that will come in handy like granola bars that only require 2.5 minutes of cook time in a microwave! I also love that the recipes are divided up by meals. The author even provides suggestions to meet cravings such as recipes to try when you are craving something sweet, comforting, or fancy-ish! --Scarlet Paolicchi, founder of Family Focus Blog Every young person launching on their own two feet should have a copy of Christina Hitchcock's How-to Cookbook for College--a guide to basic but delicious meals using a minimum of appliances and ingredients. --Jennifer Osborn, food writer, photographer and founder of kitchenserf.com
