It was once upon a time that students across the country would not know how to cook anything when they started University life but that is now all changing as the student union in Bath, UK are starting to hand out ‘Advanced Lesson in Cooking’ cook books to their students who are due to start University. The cookbook is trying to encourage younger kids to start cooking things like oven roasted vegetables and tuna pasta bake instead of opting for fast food like pizza, burgers and Chinese which is very un-healthy for the body. Food books get handed out at the beginning of every academic year at both Bath Universities in the UK and second and third years come back each year to pick up another one as well as encourage new students to pick one up. Research has shown that the students at Universities are more than capable of cooking an egg so they are looking to include some more adventurous recipes for students to enjoy.
So far, the book includes many confectionery recipe ideas that students can use all throughout the year. University students who are starting University life for the first time will be given plenty more help in terms of cooking and preparing good quality food. Staff who are on hand at the Avon Fire and Service which gets on average one phone call every week to students halls of residence were on hand to get across messages about cooking safe.
For me I think it is a great idea to give a student some guidance and help about cooking things safely before they begin their studies. I would love to try and cook more healthy food when you start studying as it is a slightly daunting task. There are many different things that you could be cooking at school but a lot of them turn out to be a lot of effort.
