“A fantastic way for young cooks and college students to start learning the rhythms of shopping and cooking . . . Andrea’s recipes are smart and simple.” —Kitchn
This ultimate one-stop shopping guide finally offers starving college students a welcome relief from microwave mash-ups, fast food fiascos, and cardboard crust pizza delivery. Instead they can whip up late-for-class breakfasts, backpack-friendly lunches, and as-hearty-as-mom-made dinners. And since all the ingredients come from Trader Joe’s, they’re both inexpensive and scrumptious. Whether the reader is a first-time chef or coed foodie, this is the perfect book to start them cooking. Each recipe—from fabulous finger foods to delicious desserts—has been thoroughly tested to guarantee it’s not only tantalizingly tasty but also easy to make when kitchen space, cooking utensils, preparation time, and chef’s attention span are in short supply. Designed to help shoppers recognize the best finds and reap the fruits of Trader Joe’s smart buyers, many of the recipes utilize Trader Joe’s signature products to create unique meals.
Even if you’ve never cooked before, this book shows how quick and easy it is to turn Trader Joe’s tasty and affordable groceries into delicious dishes:Pulled Pork SandwichesFish TacosSweet Chili WingsHomemade PizzaChicken MasalaPad ThaiEggplant LasagnaRaspberry BrowniesGreek Pasta SaladTortilla SoupCaramel Popcorn
