Student food – beans on toast, pot noodles or cheap takeaways – quick and cheerful but not necessarily healthy nor nutritional. Lack of time, money and in most cases willingness to cook sits at the center of some students’ bad eating habits. So what if you could eat well with proper food prepared from scratch which doesn’t take an expert to cook, will not break your bank (socialising) balance and most importantly, doesn’t take a long time to prepare?
The Student Housing Company has put together the Better than Beans on Toast: The Essential Student Cookbook filled with easy creations which can be enjoyed by anyone, even busy students during mad studying times.
The cookbook contains 17 recipes covering breakfast, lunch, dinner and even yummy puddings for all you sweet lovers out there. The recipes were submitted by food blogs; they are tried and tested and once followed will deliver a delicious dining experience.
In this e-book, everyone should find something they like, or at least I would hope so. The recipes vary and some of them even cater to the vegan crowd out there. Ranging from Egg, Bacon and Cream Cheese Bagels, which actually look divine and I would strongly suggest checking them out to Chicken and Halloumi Stir-Fry or even our own favourite Triple Chocolate Almond Brownies, which are simply loved by everyone who tries them, the cookbook ticks all the boxes and should keep you well fed and going for weeks to come.
I was planning to share with you some of the recipes out here but in the end, I decided not to. Go on and check the cookbook out for yourselves, for now, all I will give you is the recipe list you can find in the book:
Egg, Bacon and Cream Cheese Bagel
Pasta Carbonara with a Twist

Healthy eating is extremely important during the school and college age. All parents must download this book.
They all sound super yummy not just for students but for everyone.
It looks like a great book. I need to download this. I am looking forward to this. Thanks for sharing!
I liked your student recipe collection. It’s been a while since I was a student but a few recipes still peaked my interest. Will definitely try them.
Great cooking tips, especially for students who need a quick recipe or two. Will go and download myself, I like the sound of the banana bread.
Spaghetti carbonara is my fave so I’d love to know what that twist is!!
I actually took part in this cook book and contributed with the carbonara with a twist pasta recipe. I love how the book turned out and it’s indeed a great resource for students.
What a great idea! I remember when I went to university I could only cook three meals! I could really have done with this back then!
This is just so cool. This is definitely going to be a helpful cookbook for students.
This sounds a great book, I’m sure students and anyone else on a tight budget or with a cooking aversion would love it.
Yum, these all sound really good as well as straightforward. I ate so badly as a student so am keen my kids eat better.
Leaving home and cooking for yourself can either be so daunting or so exciting. For many it is totally overwhelming, so having some inspiration in a book like this is a great idea.
My son is off to uni next year so this will come in really handy. He has no idea how o cook so we are spending some time trying to sort that before he goes
This sounds great. my daughter is looking for easy recipes and maybe this would be great for her.
I wish my daughter knew of this recipe book before she went to Uni 3 years ago as she didn’t have a clue. Thankfully she has turned into a pretty decent cook.
My niece is off to uni in September though, so I will be sending her this information! Thank you for sharing xx
My brother in law is a student and likes to cook, so I will have to show him this 🙂
I love this idea, especially as students are on a tight budget. For them to be able to have some nice, healthy, tasty means is great!
Oh I have a similar recipe book it’s all to do with student pasta dishes. I love to use these recipe’s dubbed for students, anyway to cook a decent meal for my family at a low cost is a win x
I wish I had this when I was a student. I remember eating a lot of jacket potatoes.
These are great and simple recipes to follow. I will be downloading this as it not only caters for students but anyone really.
Lovely idea to have a free E-download cooking book for students, as they are trying to save every penny x
I need to download this.. my ability to cook basics hasn’t changed really since my uni days!
Ohh these sound like a great recipes even for the non student. I always love a good easy and cheap meal x
I think I might actually need this myself even now haha! Ash just looks at a cooker and runs the other way and on bad days I want to do anything but think about cooking.
Haha yes that was me in my first year of being a student I ate beans, chips and noodles pretty much most of the year. But then again our uni was catered so we didn’t have our own ovens, only a microwave. And the food in the canteen was limited for a vegetarian like myself. But this cookbook is great I like the sound of the Swedish Meatballs-Inspired Vegan-Balls.
HA! We had beans on toast for tea tonight - And we are most definitely not students still! I love the sound of the variety of these recipes especially the vegan swedish meatballs.
What a great idea. I’ve downloaded a copy even though am not a student to give me some simple and delicious meal ideas. I’m always hearing bout students always having beans on toast.
This looks like a good book, i remember being a student and always having beans on toast
