Student Cooking.TV
Slow Food on Campus aims to cover as many of the food issues surrounding us as we can, including helping to change the way students eat through offering the knowledge about how to cook and what/where to buy.
Student Cooking.TV is an excellent, online resource for students who need some inspiration and/or help in the kitchen. Focussing on working with universities around the country the website has a glut of videos all about recipes, handy hints and tips and the specifics of each Uni and its town.
This is the foodie first stop for all students, whether new to Uni and a bit at sea about where to start or simply wanting to cook up a storm.
Check them out in The Guardian and look out for them at your Uni.
