Synopsis
How could any college student survive finals week without a care package from home? And what could make a football weekend more fun than a gala tailgate party? If you have a son or a daughter in college, you may find some distinctive new demands on your cooking skills, your time, and your recipe file. This special cookbook will help you meet these challenges. It will offer answers to that panicked phone call: "Would you send me something else I can fix with a can opener?" It will show you an array of good fare for late-night suppers, parties when the old gang gathers at your house, and regional specialties to impress the new roommate from New Jersey.
Edna M. Smith, mother of two Texas Aggies, has prepared this specially tailored cookbook from the recipes submitted by the members of seventy Federation of Texas A&M University Mothers' Clubs. The nearly five hundred recipes focus on the needs of families with college students--and of the students themselves. Those who are novice cooks, perhaps just starting their own families and traditions, will appreciate the helpful suggestions for solving culinary mysteries. Any cook will enjoy the varied dishes that have been favorites for entertaining, covered dish suppers, and family feasts.
