I got this cookbook in college and it is still one of my most used cookbooks, 20 years later, second only to Joy of Cooking. The recipe for fish dilled and cooked in foil is one of our household favorites. It's a great book to help new cooks set up a kitchen for the first time. Highly recommended.
great for beginning cooks

This book aims to teach campus dwellers how to fend for themselves for the first time away from the home hearth--and it does a great job. Taking the learning cook from the very basics--hardboiled eggs--to more complicated recipes, it presents one month of meals that are cheap, easy and quick to prepare, nutritionally balanced, and tasty. Some vegetarian meals are included. Every student should go to college with this book, particularly if their previous kitchen experience was limited to reheating frozen burritoes. Not for the gourmand, it will help keep pizza runs and the "freshman 15" to a minimum.
