It's that time again when our off-spring have gone off to University and Student Life full of excitement at the prospect of wall to wall freedom and fun!
As parents we hope they will fit at least SOME studies into their busy student schedule of late night partying and long lie-ins!
We have to accept the last thing on their minds for a few weeks is going to be using the kitchen.
However, once they have settled into their new routine, it can be surprising how they can cope with cooking when they realise they need to economise if they want BEER MONEY!
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 find what I wanted so I set about composing a selection of easy recipes with step by step instructions with students in mind. I had a fair idea, from the questions she asked, what kind of information would be needed.
Hey Presto! Bingo! I got her cooking and she can now rustle up a decent meal with little effort!
Apparently her friends have joined the cooking revolution and are pinching the recipes! They now have a nice little cooking 'rota' going in the shared house.
RESULT? My Student daughter can cook and follow recipes competently, eats MORE healthy food and LESS fast food and her mother is happy!! I don't even mind the bags of dirty laundry!
WONDER IF I WROTE A GUIDE ON WASHING AND IRONING WOULD IT WORK?
