Review Quotes

"Every young person launching on their own two feet should have a copy of Christina Hitchcock's How-to Cookbook for College--a guide to basic but delicious meals using a minimum of appliances and ingredients." --Jennifer Osborn, food writer, photographer and founder of kitchenserf.com

"I will be sending this book off to college with my daughter when we pack her up to go in a few years. I love that it takes into account the limited cooking appliances and supplies that she is likely to have. The recipes are easy and they are for foods that will come in handy like granola bars that only require 2.5 minutes of cook time in a microwave! I also love that the recipes are divided up by meals. The author even provides suggestions to meet cravings such as recipes to try when you are craving something sweet, comforting, or fancy-ish!" --Scarlet Paolicchi, founder of Family Focus Blog

"The How-to Cookbook for College is everything a college student needs to eat well while in school. Christina Hitchcock teaches the skills needed to cook quick meals that are way healthier than takeout and vending machines. She even details how to set up a dorm room or apartment kitchen, reviews basic cooking techniques, and offers advice about buying ingredients on a tight budget. And her recipes are great, too! You'll be enjoying Microwave Chicken Enchiladas and Cinnamon Tortilla Crisps with Pineapple Salsa while your classmates are stuck eating fast food, instant ramen, and delivery pizza." --Robin Donovan, author of Ramen for Beginners and founder of the food blog AllWaysDelicious.com

"This book made the perfect gift for high school graduation for my college-bound niece. I was so happy to see real, delicious recipes, not just quick and easy convenience food. She has already made three recipes in her little apartment kitchen and has loved each one." --Katie Shaw, food writer and photographer

"With 2 college-age sons, I know how important it is that they learn to cook for themselves. Christina breaks down techniques, tools, and basics to lay the foundation for success.

The perfect going-to-college gift!" --Krista Romano, food photographer, writer, and founder of Far From Normal
