Customer Reviews

Buy it if you can't cook...or even if you can!

I've owned a copy of this book for MANY years. If you don't know how to cook - this is the book for you. The recipes are easy, simple, flavorful, and "stick to your ribs" - all while being on a budget. If you DO know how to cook - it's an excellent book to have for a quick change-of-pace meal, ideas for when you're craving some "comfort food", or as a base to add your own personal touches, to create your own nouvelle cuisine.

Great for those that don't know how to cook or just want it simple

I love this book. I have owned it since the '80's when my mom bought it for me when I was in college. I only read one review that gave this book a low score. In it the genius says "I know how to cook" and "Anyone can fry an egg". So... why did he buy this book? If you are Emeril, then don't buy this book. This book is meant for us fools who actually don't really know how to fry eggs. Or more importantly, those of us who have lives outside the kitchen. If that is you, BUY THIS.

A Great Cookbook

I bought this cookbook for the staff to use at my disabled son's home. They need to cook for one and it is hard to find decent cookbooks. The staff rave about this cookbook. It is great! Easy to read, simple ingrediants and they love the picture of the which pot or pan to use.

Couldn't have survived college and post-college without it!

It wasn't so much college, as right afterwards, when money was tight, and Ramen noodles were considered a staple... The Starving Students Cookbook taught me a lot of really basic, but very tasty dishes that I still use today. My favorites include "Meatloaf Men Like" and "Easy Roast." I highly recommend this book to anyone living away from home for the first time, or who is just strapped for cash.

Yummy! Easy to use; great for students, kids, klutzy cooks..

From breakfast to late night, apple pie to zucchini and eggs, "The Starving Students' Cookbook" has a little something for everyone. By keeping the recipes and ingredients both simple and easy, even the most 'culinary-challenged' person can whip up a great macaroni-tuna casserole previously thought unreachable! Also, this is a good cookbook for kids just learning to cook, and offers a little bit of everything. This is the second edition of "Starving Students'," with the most notable -- and welcome -- addition being the chapter on microwave cooking. All-around good food, cooking and nutrition tips make "The Starving Students' Cookbook" a welcome addition to any kitchen, large or small.
