What a creative and useful idea for a cookbook! Authors Rogers and Harris teach college students how to quickly and easily turn foods and ingredients found in any college cafeteria into tasty fare that rivals the best of what Mom made at home.

By the creative use of cafeteria food and available condiments and garnishes, students will be eating well for breakfast, lunch, dinners, snacks and even desserts. Measurements are given by soup spoons and teaspoons, pats of butter, soda glass full and juice glass full, etc. - no special tools or equipment needed. Introductory chapters get you ready for cafeteria cooking by suggesting improvisations and substitutions, measuring, yields and how to get what you need if your school doesn't already carry it.

The book is written in a comical, light hearted way and liberally illustrated with cartoons and whimsical drawings and photographs, but the information contained in the pages is practical and useful - not only for students but for any workers who regularly eat in a cafeteria. Travelers on a budget, especially those staying at youth hostels, which usually have cooking facilities, could also make use of the tips and recipes here.

You'll find recipes like Nietzche's Nachos, Chinese Peanut Pasta, Plato's Pita Pocket, Holy Guacamole, Je Ne Sais Quoi Crepes, Chickenchiladas, a variety of pizzas and much more. Suddenly dinner at the cafeteria doesn't seem quite so dull. Another benefit of using the recipes in this book, you're sure to attract a lot of friends who'll want to know why your food looks so much better than theirs does!
