Learn to cook on a very small budget, put your limited space to good use, and even avoid that notorious Freshman 15. From breakfast to desserts, many of these college cookbook recipes take less than five minutes to prepare, make use of ingredients that don't require refrigeration, and are geared toward small portions. Walk away from college with a lifetime degree in a low-cost nutritional lifestyle.

Inside this college cookbook, you'll find:

The minimalist kitchen—Keep room clutter to a minimum with minimal equipment, tools, and only 5 essentials spices.

Jazzy noodles—This college cookbook provides a number of delicious variations and tricks you can do with ramen, including Garlic Alfredo and Thai Noodle Bowls.

Whether you live in a dorm or a tiny apartment, use this college cookbook to eat well on a budget.

What reviewers said

“College costs are rising, and the temptation to cut our budget in the food areas are necessary, but that doesn't mean we have to eat ramen every single day in order to survive. This book is fun, yet useful. A great gift for grads or, really, for anyone wanting to cook more in order to shave the budget.”
