can anyone recommend a cookery book for uni student?

[ssd]

who doesn't really like to cook and will be studying abroad?

Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food is good. Designed for people who've never cooked.

Where are they studying? There are often different measures/ food names etc (heavy cream, cups etc). I had ‘edmonds’ in New Zealand which is a classic, and not too weighty, and had all the basic recipes. Madhur jaffrey ‘curry easy’ if they like curries (and will be somewhere they can get ingredients?). My friend had ‘the hungry student’ which had lots of basic hearty meals.

Sweden, not sure what the food is like there.

Eat Well For Less cookbook is pretty good!

Sam Stern's Cooking Up a Storm.

Miguel Barclays £1 Meal books are fab for inspiration. Ditto Joe Wicks Lean in 15 books. Most of them are recipes for 1 , and actually really nutritionally balanced.

I sent my son off with the 'A Girl called Jack' cookbook.
I assume it was good, it didn't come home as someone else stole It!

My dad got "Nosh for Students" (or is it "Student Nosh"?) for his lady-friend's pampered grandchild who was starting Uni in South Africa in January and she's found it really good.

He gave a copy to ds at the beginning of the summer and he's practiced a couple of dishes already.

Meant to say it was recommended to my dad in Waterstone's.

I like cooking and I have a lot of cookbooks. My absolute favourite is Delia Smith’s Complete Cookery. It is old school but it is so comprehensive and informative and instructive and the recipes all work, and mostly very economical and always delicious.

Sam Stern's books are great!

This is great.

Does DC not like to cook or not really done it. Delia's How to cook is fab for basics & I think she did once do a book called something like "Cooking for One" . I know she isn't fashionable but her recipes do tend to work and DS has done a few.

That said if the student is abroad , depending on how much else they have to transport - loads of recipes are online now so if they get familiar with those , they can just look them up on their phone.

I am clearing out my cookery books and if anyone's Dc would like a copy of Lesley Waters "Broader than Beans" ( Over 130 stunning vegetarian recipes for all occasions - it says 'ere on the front ) will post gratis if anyone would like it and PM s .

Nigel Slater's Real Fast Food is pretty good, and has not just recipes, but guidance to help make you better at just throwing a few things together, too.

I've heard good things about Nosh as well. Apparently it provides shopping lists and doesn't need kitchen scales!

Jamie Oliver's ministry of food is great.

Sam Stern. I'm a mediocre cook and it helps me too!

My dc were both given a copy of Nosh for students and found it helpful.

Sophie Grigson’s First Time Cook is excellent.

I am not sure how well any of these suggestions will work though if the food available in Sweden is very different from the UK.

I had "grub on a grant" and " mean beans" (the veggie version) - this was 20 years ago but still use them occasionally

Nosh for Students is good. You measure things using a mug. There’s handy tips such as freezing it or microwaving the reminders the next day. My DS has been cooking from it this holidays.

Also, Jamie’s Five ingredient book is quite good.

I forgot about "5 Ingredients". Ds has also been cooking from that just for him (Got it from my brother for Christmas) - although he gets pedantic about "extra" ingredients being asked for (even though in the intro, Jamie Oliver does include the "5 Store Cupboard Ingredients" required )

Lots of potato recipes here (only of interest if you actually like potatoes, of course, and I must admit that impressive as the 'tornado' one looks, I am going to wait until I've bought a new packet of plasters before I try it ).

Student Grub by Jan Arkless

Very simple and cheap recipes that even a clueless teenage me managed!

Is 5 ingredients any good? I am a bit of a cook book fiend and this one has passed me by!
