Hello there!

I know its been a while since I updated the site (sorry about that) but now I am back in full swing! Today I organized the menus a bit and added a new section, Recipes (which can be found under the "Other" menu). I am hoping to add a few recipes to this section every week, and as always I welcome articles from you, the reader, that you would like to share with the rest of the junior chefs out there!

Now a little about the recipes...

These recipes are designed to be as affordable as possible and cooked in the typical dorm room with adaptations to different equipment available (which may be due to money constraints or college residence rules). While these recipes are not meant to be innovative or original (although we try), they are meant more to encourage you to try cooking healthier (and cheaper) while in dorm and to try creating your own versions of these recipes (for instance you can change the Tex Mex chicken recipe into an Italian or Indian flavoured dish by adding different spices and flavourings to the chicken before cooking). These recipes are more guidelines than strict instructions, feel free to substitute turkey for chicken, or coriander for cumin. Experimenting is a great way to learn more about flavours and how to use them; you may have some great successes and you may have some not so great successes, its all part of the learning process (which is why your in school to begin with, isn't it?).

Now these recipes dont just apply to dorms, they can apply to appartment buildings, hotels, staff housing or anywhere where they might not let you have a regular tove and oven. Im sure with a little imagination and creatiovity you can use these recipes in almost any situation and create many variations on these simple recipes.
