Good food, without the student loan ...

​

Being a student doesn't mean living on instant noodles and beans on toast. Although, let's be honest, there's a time and a place for both.

Whether you're cooking in a tiny shared kitchen, feeding a houseful of hungry housemates or trying to make the weekly food shop stretch until the next loan instalment, a little kitchen know-how goes a long way.  Think comforting bowls of pasta, quick suppers, clever ways to use up what's lurking in the fridge and recipes that make a handful of everyday ingredients go further than you thought possible.

You don't need a cupboard full of fancy kit, a long list of expensive ingredients or hours to spare. Just a few good ideas, a little imagination and the confidence to have a go.  And who knows? You might even find yourself becoming the person your housemates hover around when something delicious comes out of the oven.

So, whether you're cooking for one, feeding the whole house or simply trying to eat well without spending a fortune, pull up a chair. There's good food to be had, whatever your budget.
