Good 4 Students
This was the first dish I made in my new student apartment as a 3rd year. It was great value for money because it lasted over a week. It was packed full of flavour and fresh ingredients from the market. I am very proud of this dish. There is nothing more satisfying than cooking your own food and knowing what's in it!
Health Conscious
I am very determined to eat good healhy food. I was brought up on very healthy diet and had the fast food meal on a one off occassion and my desserts were usually healthy or light. I really feel that eating fast food more than once a week is a little too much. It's always good indulge a little and it's understandable when you have such a busy lifestyle, but in the long time I don't think it's worth it.

This dish was taken from Sam Stern's Student Cookbook. I have not added the measurements for all food because I like to change it up a bit. Also I tend to add special spices of my own.
