Raw FoodHow To Get Your Student Son or Daughter to Eat Healthier Food

It's that time again. Our "babies" have gone off to University and Student life full of excitement at the prospect of wall to wall freedom and fun!

As parents we can only hope they will fit at least SOME studies into their busy student schedule of last night partying and long lie-ins. We have to accept the last thing on their minds for a few weeks is going to be cooking and using the kitchen.

With a lot of emphasis being put on "healthy eating" and "healthy lifestyles" just now it's not easy to convince students and young people of its importance.

However, you'd be surprised what a tight budget and a little persuasion can do when they are faced with NO BEER MONEY because they have to eat!

When my own youngest "flew the nest" last year I tried to find a recipe/cook book to pack which explained cooking from scratch for someone who hardly knew the difference in a kettle and a saucepan! Well! that's a bit exaggerated but you know what I mean!

I couldn't really find what I wanted so I set about composing a selection of Quick and Easy recipes with step by step instructions on how to do some basic cooking.

I had a fair idea, from the questions she asked, what kind of information would be useful to students.

Hey Presto! Bingo! I got her cooking and she can now use recipes and rustle up a decent meal with little effort!

Apparently her friends have joined in the cooking revolution and they now have a nice little cooking rota going in their house
.
This selection of Quick and Easy recipes with detailed explanation is the most productive (and cheapest) present I've ever given any of mine. RESULT? She can cook and follow recipes competently, eats healthier food, eats less fast food and her mother is happy!! I don't even mind the bags of dirty laundry!

And guess what? Many moms struggling in the kitchen also find this selection very useful.
