Format: Hardback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.00
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

For so many young people, their first day as a student is the first time they have had to puzzle over the question of how to feed themselves, and once the mom-packed food parcel runs out, they have to start fending for themselves.


The aim of this book is to make cooking for one in student accommodation easy. It takes a realistic view of what students really want to eat and their limitations. Recipes do not assume that students have room to cook with multiple pans or own fancy cookware or food processors-and this book understands that students hate doing the dishes. They may have only one shelf in the refrigerator, so this book uses very short lists of ingredients without exotic items, expensive perishables, or alcohol.

The recipes in this book have also been developed to teach students a number of basic skills, such as how to hard cook an egg, how long to fry steak, how to make a hamburger, and how to cook a simple fillet of fish. Alongside these must-know recipes is a range of imaginative, international, and contemporary recipes for any time of the day or night-and some that are fun and silly too. They reflect student life, with foods young people love to eat as well as some they know they should be eating.

Including dietary notes, cooking tips, and possible substitutions, as well as vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, this book has all the technical help, shortcuts, and delicious recipes that a student cook needs to know.
