The Healthy College CookbookQuick, Cheap, Easy by Alexandra Nimetz, Jason Stanley, Emeline Starr. Storey Books, 1999
"We know that it's easy to settle for unhealthy food when you don't have the time to prepare something," say the authors of The Healthy College Cookbook, all of them college students with busy schedules and tight budgets. "We hope that this book will provide you with alternatives to the evils of fast food."
You don't have to be in college to appreciate the recipes these self-taught cooks put together. Ranging from Frittatas for breakfast and Sesame Chicken for dinner to Baked Garlic appetizers and Blueberry Scones for dessert, they offer more than 200 recipes that are cheap, convenient, and surprisingly nutritious when compared to the normal student diet.
This cookbook shortens the learning curve for most beginning cooks with an opening chapter on setting up your first kitchen and stocking the shelves. Most recipes are made up of six ingredients or less and take less than a half hour to prepare.
Low-fat, low-calorie, low-cholesterol, low-sodium, and vegetarian options are highlighted, with a full chapter devoted to meatless cuisine. Other chapters focus on soups and salads, pasta, seafood, side dishes, sauces and breads.
