Summary: Delectable.
Review: Before this book, I couldn't really cook. Canned pasta, boiled eggs, toast. That was the extent of my expertise. Starving students is full of simple recipes and tips: what pots and pans to use, what ingredients can be substituted, etc. This is the only cookbook you really need on your shelf for everyday meals. Even I can bluff my way through it. Amazing.

Summary: Yummy! Easy to use; great for students, kids, klutzy cooks..
Review: From breakfast to late night, apple pie to zucchini and eggs, "The Starving Students' Cookbook" has a little something for everyone. By keeping the recipes and ingredients both simple and easy, even the most 'culinary-challenged' person can whip up a great macaroni-tuna casserole previously thought unreachable! Also, this is a good cookbook for kids just learning to cook, and offers a little bit of everything. This is the second edition of "Starving Students'," with the most notable -- and welcome -- addition being the chapter on microwave cooking. All-around good food, cooking and nutrition tips make "The Starving Students' Cookbook" a welcome addition to any kitchen, large or small.

Summary: A Great Cookbook
Review: I bought this cookbook for the staff to use at my disabled son's home. They need to cook for one and it is hard to find decent cookbooks. The staff rave about this cookbook. It is great! Easy to read, simple ingrediants and they love the picture of the which pot or pan to use.

Summary: Great Book for Beginners on a Budget
Review: I first encountered "The Starving Student's Cookbook" the year it was released. Although I was a fairly accomplished cook, I was dealing with an extremely limited budget and a friend gave me the book thinking it might help me to cope. I found it immensely entertaining and, although it was geared to beginners and thus far below my skill level, it had tips that even I could use. If you are new to cooking, on a budget, or know some young (or not so young) person who needs help learning to feed themselves nutritiously and inexpensively, this book is a great place to start. It will teach you the basics with clear, gently humourous instructions.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: I have been out of college for many years and still love this book. I do not enjoy cooking and this book has a lot of great but simple ideas that don't require a ton of steps.

Summary: Couldn't have survived college and post-college without it!
Review: It wasn't so much college, as right afterwards, when money was tight, and Ramen noodles were considered a staple... The Starving Students Cookbook taught me a lot of really basic, but very tasty dishes that I still use today. My favorites include "Meatloaf Men Like" and "Easy Roast." I highly recommend this book to anyone living away from home for the first time, or who is just strapped for cash.

Summary: Disappointment
Review: This book wasn't at all what I have expected. Since I am student and I have a full-time job I thought that this book would be helpful to me. The description and the reviews were over rated and deceiving. Ok so the book might have a lot of recipes but they is nothing new (anyone can fry eggs)it made me feel stuped since I now how to cook almost every thing in this book and what's worst they are poorly written and not illustrated... the paper is a very cheap quality and the writing is too small... The book is no help to me what so ever and I am sure that it will just collect dust on my book shelves...
