One day, Brooke was sitting in her kitchen wondering what she was going to make for dinner. She realized she had no idea how to use the things she had picked up at the store to create a high quality meal for herself. Peanut butter and jelly and spaghetti were not going to cut it anymore. She remembered all the cookbooks her mom had hoarded in the closet at home and wished she had one for herself. After looking online and realizing she had neither the budget nor the time to use any of the recipes in books she found. Complaining to her friends the next day, it turned out her friends had the same problems she did. So, she decided it was time to develop her own book. This book however, would be created by and for college students. The book would keep in mind the budget, time constraints and skill level of the typical college student. She teamed up her three of her friends to combine their favorite recipes into one comprehensive book to create the ultimate college cookbook.
