Easy Cook September 2018의 목차

Last year, my niece and godsons cut the apron strings and headed off to the scary new world of university – and they love it. Their new-found independence has forced them to think about what they eat and why they eat it, and they tell me that Easy Cook has been a valuable source of inspiration for cheap meals that aren’t challenging to make. This month, as they prepare to go back for their second year, we’ve devoted a special section of 24 suppers for cash-strapped students like them, and perhaps you or your sons and daughters. I hope you enjoy them. Rich in iron and budget-friendly – perfect for students Try this easy student supper... Paneer-stuffed pancakes • Serves 2 • Prep 10 mins • Cook 10 mins Heat…
