The ultimate one-stop shopping guide, College Cooking at Trader Joe's finally offers starving college students a welcome relief from microwave mash-ups, fast food fiascos, and cardboard crust pizza delivery. Instead they will be whipping up late-for-class breakfasts, backpack-friendly lunches, and as-hearty-as-mom-made dinners. And since all the ingredients come from Trader Joe’s, they’re guaranteed to be both inexpensive and scrumptious. Whether the reader is a first-time chef or coed foodie, this is the perfect book to start them cooking. Each recipe from fabulous finger foods to delicious desserts has been thoroughly tested to guarantee that it’s not only tantalizingly tasty but also easy to make when kitchen space, cooking utensils, preparation time, and chef’s attention span are in short supply. Designed to help shoppers recognize the best finds and reap the fruits of Trader Joe’s smart buyers, many of the recipes utilize Trader Joe’s signature products to create unique meals like chicken masala, pulled-pork sliders, and spicy fish tacos.
