The Student Grub Guide

I was studying in England one semester and away from mother's cooking for the first time. Dying to eat real food again, I found this book. Granted, there are some rather strange English recipes, but there also treasures. From Paella, to Chicken Paprikash, this book had easy, cheap recipes that made me feel like a self sufficient and well fed human being. I've looked at other supposedly "easy yet good" cook books yet, and none were as easy, and certainly none were as good. Honest to god this is a well researched book by a rather funny guy and I've loved every moment that I used it. Try the Pork Provencal!
