Learning to Cook Reviews

For the past few months I have been trying desperately to learn how to cook a few meals and to just improve my kitchen skills as much as I can. The reason I am doing this is because at some point this year I am hopefully moving into a house or flat with my boyfriend and I do think we will need to eat at some point. The only problem with living ...

I have been married now for nearly 8 years and what prompted me to write this is the lovely Tea that my hubby has just made. I think back to 8 years ago when we decided to live together. His idea of a main meal was baked beans on toast and at the ripe old age of 34, this was a bit sad. After questioning him why he could not cook, he ...

Student cooking needs to be focused on one thing ? cheapness. We are students! We have no money! Well okay that?s a lie, many do. But we have better things to spend it on than food. So student cooking needs to be cheap, easy, taste at least semi-nice and be filling. We are still growing and use our brains lots you know, ...

I think cooking is like sex, you either have it or you don't and no books or classes or TV programs are going to help you get better. I was lucky to be born with a silver tongue, and that is for both cooking and sex. But I am just gifted with knowing the proper combination of spices and seasonings to use to enhance my other ingredients. ...

One of the many things you’ll probably have to learn at uni (if you don’t know already) is how to cook. When I say ‘cook’, let’s be under no illusions. I don’t mean fancy haute cuisine, I just mean you have to be able to feed people, or at least yourself. Obviously you’ll be trying to do this on a budget, ...

Ever really fancied Pizza, but the freezers empty or you cant afford one???? Or you want something simple to prepare and eat??? Well heres the answer - doesn't quite match the real thing but is quite tasty. Toast a slice of bread, then top with tomato puree, cheese and whatever luxuries you can find in the fridge and wack ...

You will need: *Pots and Pans, *Cutlery and Crockery, *Parents who will buy stuff for you before semester starts *A phone and someone who can cook at the end of the line – preferably your Mum *Recipe books and/or notes – “secret recipes” that your nan/granma/mum use! *Microwave ...

Learning to cook When I was at home, I would always have my meals ready at table so the kitchen was an undiscovered land. It is true that when I was a small child my mother tried to get me into cooking but I never showed the minimum interest so after a while she gave up. But you grow up, leave home, and go to live with others or ...

The humble bean, smothered from stem to stern in rich tomato sauce and served up for your delight by Good Old Mr Heinz and the subject of tonight's these from the fingers of dave27. Any student will discover before long that there is one sure fire way to get through his time on tight funds and low ideas - no, not cannabis, but the ...

I left Uni in 1998 and it's only now that I am realising what a mug I was when buying food! There were some things in cooking I would avoid simply because I believed that they were incredibly complicated. One of the biggest crimes was that of buying ready chopped cuts of meat - mainly chicken. This op is not for veggies, vegans or animal ...

This op is just about slow cookers. I have just started university, and my advice regarding cooking is get one! You can get them from Argos. The cheapest model is £20 or you could buy one second hand. A slow cooker is basically a large ceramic bowl that plugs into the electric. It works on a very low heat. The advantages of this are: ...

My experience as a college student has necessitated that I acquire at least basic cooking skills. I frequently cook inexpensive meals that consist primarily of pasta or some other carbohydrate. Lately, I've begun to splurge on some chicken and found a quick and easy way to cook it. Ingredients 2 pounds of chicken leg quarters ...

Student life is largely about adapting and coming to terms with being an adult with adult responsibilities. If cooking is new to you then it might seem quite daunting and it's easy to fritter away cash on takeaways to avoid the hassle. But cooking isn't that difficult and the internet offers thousands of tips in the way of recipes, ...

I wasn’t going to write more that 1 piece a day, but after reading velcrogirls opinion it reminded me of one of the most useful and simplistic things I ever learnt. It’s surprising how many people (especially students) don’t know how to cook rice properly. I myself used to end up with either rice pudding or grainy undercooked ...

If you?re fed up with frozen ready meals or can no longer afford them you may decide to try experimenting in the kitchen. You may feel you are ready for something more challenging than cheese on toast or on an adventurous day maybe even beans on toast. However all recipe books seem daunting and list ingredients that you not only don?t have but ...
