  Becoming a student doesn't mean you have to live on pot noodle. And let's face it, a diet of dried stuff marinated in E numbers can't be good for you. But just when you thought proper food came straight from the kitchen on a plate, you discover someone has to cook it first. Grab a copy of Viv Swallow's It's Not Rocket Salad! and you can head for the kitchen with confidence. It packs in well over 100 irresistible recipes - the basics, old favourites and pleasant surprises; simple, tasty and no fuss - from snacks and quick bites for one (Pineapple Toasties, anyone) to slap up dinners like Ratatouille With Spicy Couscous, to feed the whole house. And, as they're meat-free, they're cheap as chips (and better for you). Viv always has an eye on keeping the diet balanced - plenty of iron from spinach, dried apricots, pulses and beans, for instance. You can grab all the ingredients at your local supermarket and there's no special equipment needed. With Viv's easy to follow, down to earth style, this is food you can actually cook rather than weeping over the glossy pictures of how it should've turned out. Top recipes, tried and tested by students for students...and not a plastic pot in sight.
