Not unless you hate crap food, which is full of E numbersand too much of all sorts that are bad for you, and love cooking

I love cooking, and make an effort every night actually. My claim to fame is that I haven't had a microwave meal since i've been at Uni! If a new person comes into our flat i'm introduced as the 'dude who's always cooking' :smile:

My point was that you probably won't have much need for recipies, as you will be working/having fun. Its perhaps more about improvisation about what you have in the kitchen etc. etc.

I like improvisation, but what i think of as improvisation is very different to what my friends do, to my friends it is throw alsorts of crap in a frying pan and call it chinese i would do say joint of lamb stuffed with sumthing unusual

fair enough - at least you cook - most of my old friends in uni tell me about what they eat - total bloody rubbish full of saturates and fats - yuck - croissants are inhaled as freely as air in some cases :frown:

Fish in milk (sounds gross, but it is actually lovely)

1 piece of smoked haddock (per person)
Milk
Butter
Freshly baked bread

Put the fish in a deep (ish) baking tray, pour on enough milk to cover most of the fish, add a knob of butter and grill untill brown on top. Serve with the milk and the posh bread to soak up the milk.

I prefer haddock with cracked pepper (I know that Tesco sell this).
