WELCOMETO eating beans on toast every meal for the next four years of your life. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Good, satisfying food can be easy, and cheap, to make if you know what you’re doing and where to shop. Whether you’re looking for a meal to impress your new flat-mates - pasta bake is always a winner - or looking for the perfect hangover cure, you’ll probably find it within these painstakingly designed pages. So, grab an alcohol of your choice, you’re probably going to need it, and delve in. Just try not to give yourself food poisoning.

SOMETIMES referred to as JUICY LUCYS, Inside-Out Burgers are cooked with the cheese inside the meat rather than on top. Invented in SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, two bars on the same street, ‘Matt’s Bar’ and the ‘5-8 Club’, both claim to have created the meal. Simple to make and quick to impress, they also make for an excellent hangover cure. WARNING - CONTENTS WILL BE HOT.

TOP TIPS - Not enough flavour? Add bacon. Bacon makes everyting better.

SWEET POTATO CHIPSF you’re bored of regular chips, sweet potato is a great alternative. A bag from your local supermarket is relatively inexpensive.

YOU WILL NEED:

• 1 sweet potato• Olive oil• Salt and pepper to season

NOW WHAT?

1. PEEL the potato and slice into thin chip-sized strips2. DRIZZLE the strips with olive oil so they are completely

covered3. SPRINKLE on salt and pepper4. COOK in an oven at 200°C for 1 hour

TOP TIPS - Try adding some fennel seeds and tumeric to your sweet potato. The result is an amazing liquorice flavour that is fantastic with pork.

Instead of a jacket potato, why don’t you try a baked sweet potato? They’re a lot sweeter but just as tasty.

10 ThINGS YOU SHOULD Definitely DO WITHIT is a well known fact that cheese is the greatest substance known to mankind. It is perfection in gooey, delicious form. But there is one problem. One enormous, soul-crushing, dream-destroying problem. Cheese is expensive. So it is vitally important that you make the most of your cheese while you have it. Here are some great ideas how:

1. NACHOS Nachos are definitely one of the greatests gifts Mexico has ever given the world - along with Tequila. Great for sharing or even eating to yourself as a meal. You’re a student now, crisps for dinner is completely acceptable. The best way to make this delicious Mexican goodness? Layer the bottom of an OVENPROOF bowl with lightly salted tortilla crisps, then a layer of salsa, then a layer of cheese. Repeat, shove in the oven until all the cheese has melted and enjoy.

2. CHEESE ON TOAST

A classic. Cheese and toast are the supercouple of the food world - a bit like Bradgelina. For those who don’t know, lightly toast your bread, place on your sliced cheese and stick it under the grill until satisfactorily oozy.

3. PASTA

No pasta sauce? No problem. Just melt some cheese through it and ta-da! An edible meal.

4. CHIPS Chips were designed to have a mountain of cheese melted on top of them. Curly fries and potato wedges are particularly good.

5. BROCCOLI/CAULIFLOWER This one seems a little weird but bake your veg at 200°C in a cheese sauce. It’s delicious and healthy.

6. CHICKEN

Try putting salsa and cheese on a chicken breast, cook in the oven and sprinkle tortilla crisp crumbs on top to finish. Quick and easy to make and tastes phenomenal.

7. QUESADILLAS

Another Mexican offering. Take a tortilla wrap, cover with a layer of salsa, fill with a generous helping of grated cheese and place another wrap as a lid. Traditionally, you should fry in a pan but the microwave works just as well.

8. TOASTIES

Toasties are one of the most versitile and simplest meals in the stu-dent book of tricks. You can literally shove anything in a toastie and it will taste amazing. Tuna and cheese is an excellent combination, so is cheese and tomato. Just experiment.

9. MOZZARELLA & TOMATO IN PUFF PASTRY

If you’ve got some puff pastry, this is a great idea for a quick meal. Slice some mozzarella cheese and tomato into discs. Place onto a rolled out sheet of puff pastry and cook in the oven. Delicious and cheesy, just like all food should be.

10. MACARONI

This should be an obvious one. If you want to give your Mac ‘n’ Cheese a bit of extra oomph, some slices of tomato on top always go down well. Breadcrumbs are also popular.

BREAKFAST BARSWE’VE all had days when we’ve been running late for something or other, and run out the house without having breakfast first. Well, no-more! This simple recipe only requires two ingredients.

YOU WILL NEED:

• A box of cereal of your choice• Marshmallows

NOW WHAT?

1. MELT your marshmallows in the microwave.2. MIX the cereal and melted marshmallows together until the

cereal is completely covered.3. SPOON into a baking tray and let it set.

TOP TIPS - Once your bars have set, why not try covering them with Nutella for a bit of added flavour?

APPLE BITE GOLD COCKTAIL

IF you’ve got a bit of spare cash, why not try this cocktail?

YOU WILL NEED:

• A bottle of Smirnoff Gold• Apple juice• Lemonade• Ice

NOW WHAT?

1. FILL a tall glass with ice2. ADD equal parts apple juice and lemonade3. ADD the Smirnoff Gold

TOP TIPS - Add the Smirnoff Gold at the end so the gold flakes drift through the drink.
