I am so excited to cook from this! I bought one for myself, and one for my sister who is away at college. I went and marked all the recipes I want to try and I couldn't be more excited.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flavorful-nutritious-fast-simple-cheep recipes for first time cooks living away from home.

This is a great book for the new to cooking away from home for the first timers.It is a usful tool to help College age peeps stay home and cook nutruiious food, and out of the fast food-pizza joints that usually surround a college campus. I has everything you need to know, It is laid out so it is super easy to read and the recipes are simple and nutritious. There are Vegetarian and Vegan options available for those that don't eat animal products or secretions. This book also provides some good-simple recipes made with a variety of whole grains, along with recipes that include tofu as a main ingredient. Chapter one is all about setting up a simple kitchen with the realistic tools you will need to be successful. There is a simple glossary of fundamental cooking terms to read through for an understanding of the skills needed to navigate basic recipes Also included is descriptions of common herbs and spices and some their most frequent companions. There are substitutions for some not so healthy ingredients, and charts to help make measurement conversions just in case you need help with that. This is a really nice book. I would give this as a gift to someone going off to school or moving away from home for the first time. All in all a really nice well thought simple book to help young people make better dietary choices that they can live by, and stay out of the fast food places-spending money they don't have and eating processed fatty foods.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for people of all ages
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2011
Verified Purchase
I am an older student, but I still found myself falling victim to the typical poor eating habit of fast food or take out all the time. That is the sentiment with most of my classmates, including other adults my age and older. This book has a lot of easy common sense recipes, and some really great different ideas. I honestly have yet to cook anything from it, but I did read it cover to cover. The beginning is full of valuable information about the basics of cooking that everyone should know, as people are cooking less and eating out more. Everything is simple to make and contains whole ingredients for the most part.
I gave it 4 stars because there were a few recipes in there that are not so healthy as far as calorie and fat content. I recall seeing something that had about 1000 calories a serving, that's TOO much for a "healthy" meal. The book talks about spices and herbs in the beginning, but it also focuses on saving money since college students are typically on a limited budget. I think it would have been cute if it had incorporated growing your own herbs. It's simple, money saving, and can be done indoors with little space. I still cannot believe how much they charge for a few sprigs of Rosemary or Basil at the grocery store!

5.0 out of 5 stars Helped me through College
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2014

This is a great book for anyone leaving the nest and heading to their first year of college. I would say most meals are "Dorm Room Compatible" (although some require a full kitchen). The book is very straight forward, not a lot of pictures, and provides healthy meals at an affordable costs.

One of my biggest complaints of cookbooks are that they usually require you to go out and buy exotic ingredients that end up sitting on your pantry shelf after the meal. The Healthy College Cookbook cooks up some very tasty meals with readily available ingredients and spices. On top of that, it goes into the nutritional content of each meal. This is of course helpful in avoiding the common overindulgences that college often presents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I thought didn't exist...but here it is!
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2013
Verified Purchase
This book is awesome. It just proves that eating healthy doesn't have to cost tons of money and tons of time! The recipes use normal ingredients that people would have cooked with 100 years ago. These recipes are not fancy and are not a lot of things that you have never heard of so if you are looking for something to try obscure recipes this is not it. If you ARE looking for something straight forward with good, solid healthy recipes that taste delicious and will help keep on your budget BUY THIS BOOK! I've been out of college for almost 10 years and I have 3 kids and a husband to feed and we all love these recipes! I wish I would have had it in college too...it's really a great book for anyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstandingly Creative & Practical Guide For the Newbie
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2012
Verified Purchase
Some of these recipes are just outstandingly creative. Every recipe is straightforward, simple, and EVEN highly practical.
Here's an example of the book's practicality: For one of the recipes ("Pita Pizza"), directions include the suggestion to consider making this recipe after chopping vegetables for your prior meal, to use as toppings!) Now I don't know about anybody else, but since I'm as clueless as I am about cooking right now, I sure find tips like this useful in the learning the thinking process of a cook!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty helpful
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2014
Verified Purchase
I have been looking for a cookbook like this for some time. I am a grad student without much time or money. This book had some helpful idea for foods that I need to keep in my kitchen, and some simple recipes. The trouble with being a student is that it is very easy to fall into the habit of just grabbing fast food on a regular basis, but that will end up costing you more in the end: money and health. The down side of this book is that there are no pictures, and some of the recipes are actually quite complex. I was also hoping for more easy crock pot meals. While not perfect, I found this book to pretty helpful for a single graduate student with very little time and on a tight budget.

I love that this book has so many healthy recipe strategies that are being used today. Plus, most of the recipes are on the easy side since most college kids don’t have a lot of kitchen equipment. I bought 5 copies through Amazon after I bought one at Goodwill. 😁

There are so many delicious recipes in this book. I went through only half of it and I've flagged a bunch of recipes to try. The only thing I wish was different is that there were pictures.
