Nervous about what your flatmates are going to make of your cooking abilities? Concerned that eating anything at all at uni is going to be beyond your means (i.e. drinking budget)? Then why not get some friends together and take a crash cookery course from one of the authors of 'The Ultimate Student Cookbook'?

Showing you how to cook easy, delicious food on a budget, James (right) who also blogs as The Larder Lout, can teach you how to make soups and stews, roasts and risottos, curries and cocktails - just about everything a hungry student might need. The relaxed one day course which can take place in your own home, can be tailormade to the kind of food you enjoy so if there is any type of recipe that you'd particularly like to learn, or if you have any special dietary requirements, simply let James know.

A one day course for up to 4 people costs £320 including lunch - just 80 quid a head to save yourself hundreds of pounds on unhealthy takeaways and expensive meals out for the next nine months. Just persuade your parents you’ll starve if you can’t cook and that a recently qualified student (James graduated from Bristol this summer and trained at the famous Ballymaloe Cookery School) is the perfect person to learn from. You know it makes sense . . .
