I got a copy of this book in the old cover style and it has definitely been a lifesaver.
All the recipes are easy, you don't need any fancy equipment and the dishes range from incredibly cheap to something to splash out on (Like the vodka chili!!) although the majority of them will definitely not break the bank.
Although it is a student cookbook I'd recommend it to anyone as some meals are impressive enough to serve to guests, but it also has fun family meals as well. All quantities are for 2 people so easy to divide or multiply up as well. I also like the snacks and standbys section at the end which has great lunchtime recipes.
This book was written by combining the Student cookbook and the Vegetarian ... Read More:

A great book for everybody who followed the TV programm and anybody else who is interested in cookery. Most of the recipes are simple and quick, but will impress at any occassion. Silvana's recipes are great for when you haven't made it to the shops and rely on your store cupboard for ingredients. Paul's are refined dishes that might teach new cookery techniques. Ben's offer an unusual twist to classic recipes. In short: there will be a new favourite recipe in here for anyone!

I've can recommend the "Rustic Italian Bean and Spinach Soup", "Curried Lentil and Lime Soup", Super-speedy Pea Soup with Crispy Parma Ham","Simple Spiced Chicken Biriyani" and "Chocolate Meringues with Cherry (I used raspberries) Ripple". And so can my guests. Fantastic recipes. All very tasty and I'll be dipping into some more as the summer progresses.

I bought this book just before I went off to university, and managed to try a few of the recipes over the summer. I have found it to be a good source of inspiration over the past two years, and have enjoyed the recipes for pizza bases, refried beans, curries etc very tasty. However, I have found that alot of the recipes tend to utilise dairy products or eggs so it isn't perhaps so helpful for vegans (or people like me aren't so keen on many of these foods), and this is perhaps the main reason I have given the book only three stars.
Saying this, I would recommend this book to anyone having to cook on a budget (student or not), providing they like eggs and cheese etc.

This is a really useful book for anyone who loves food but hasn't got a lot of time to cook a la Delia Smith. The recipes are really attractive and there are lots of gutsy flavours. She's a home-grown Jill Dupleix.
