Tired of beans on toast? So is everyone. This book is for the student who wants a hot meal without the fuss, the shame, or the complicated techniques. We start with what you already have in your cupboard — pasta, eggs, tinned tomatoes — and show you how to turn them into real dinners that don't taste like poverty. No moralising about takeaways, no guilt trips about frozen vegetables. Just honest timings, realistic quantities, and the kind of shortcuts that actually work when you're exhausted. From twenty-minute stir-fries to one-pan pasta bakes, from omelettes that actually fluff up to fried rice that uses up last night's takeaway, every recipe is built for small kitchens, tight budgets, and zero patience. You'll learn how to shop smart, store food without it going slimy, and turn a sad fridge into something edible. And yes, there is a chapter on exactly how many different ways you can cook an egg. This is cooking stripped back to what matters: getting dinner on the table so you can get on with your life. No beans on toast required. Part of The Tired Cook's Library.
