my cousin is off to uni and he currently knows how to cook an egg, make tuna sandwiches and has seen pasta being cooked...!! so although he won't starve i'm sure he'll appreciate being able to make a few more interesting things in a few month's time, he's willing to learn, i think!
so what are your recommendations for the best student cookbooks for a complete novice in the kitchen, i looked on amazon and there seems to be a fair selection so didn't know which to choose.
