DESCRIPTION
Being a student is lots of fun, but it can have its down side. For most students it is the first time that they have left home and can therefore be somewhat disconcerting. The realisation that there is now no framework around to feed you every day, can be a little daunting to say the least. This book has been written for our students, by our students. Written with your experience in mind, these students have been there and found out for themselves – just how easy and rewarding it can be, to create tasty food on a budget.

My flatmates in the Village were dedicated foodies. We ate dinner together at least once a week and were always trying to push the boundaries as to what you could make in a combi-oven and grill. Back in the pre-uni days I used to make this at home with much fancier ingredients, goats cheese, organic salsa, all the things in the original Nigella Lawson recipe for Mexican Lasagne. In the dark days between rent paying and the next loan instalment this much more humble version of the recipe was born. It’s much cheaper than a domino’s and feeds four easily (with seconds!).

creamysalmonpastaI love this meal and during my life at the UEA I have cooked it so many times. Most of my friends have tried and like it so I felt the urge to share it. It is very simple, quick, reasonably healthy and very delicious! I’ve tried making it back home in Uzbekistan but it wasn’t as awesome as it used to be in Norwich. Maybe it is the British salmon or maybe there is something special about UEA residences which is impossible to feel anywhere else, but I’m looking forward to coming back and making it again!
Recipe by Nargiza Murodova. Lived in Nelson Court and Suffolk Terrace 2009 – 2012
ingredients
200g fresh salmon
1 garlic clove
Handful of grated cheese
Handful of frozen peas (optional)
Half a head of brocoli (optional)
150ml double cream
Pasta (enough for 2)
Chopped fresh dill (optional)
Oil

Frying pan or wok
Wooden spoon
Sharp knife
Chopping board
Saucepan
cookingtime
30 minutes
1. Finely chop the garlic and cut the salmon into 2 cm pieces.
2. Heat some oil in the frying pan at a medium heat and add the garlic. Fry for 1 minute.
3. Now add the salmon pieces and stir fry for 5 minutes.
4. Once the salmon is cooked through, add the cream. Simmer the cream until it thickens. (This should take 5 to 10 minutes). You can also season the dish at this point if you wish.
5. Turn down the heat a little and continue stirring while you add the cheese. When it melts, and adds colour to the cream, the meal is ready to be served.

6. Serve the meal with your pasta of choice. Depending on the sort you have picked it will take a varying amount of time to cook. Remember to start it so that it is ready at the same time as the fish and sauce.
7. If you want to make this more nutritional, try adding some brocolli and peas. Boil them both in salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and add to the recipe along with the cream. The additon of some chopped dill, will make this a really special dish.

2. Heat some oil in the frying pan at a medium heat and add the garlic. Fry for 1 minute.
3. Now add the salmon pieces and stir fry for 5 minutes.
4. Once the salmon is cooked through, add the cream. Simmer the cream until it thickens. (This should take 5 to 10 minutes). You can also season the dish at this point if you wish.
5. Turn down the heat a little and continue stirring while you add the cheese. When it melts, and adds colour to the cream, the meal is ready to be served.

6. Serve the meal with your pasta of choice. Depending on the sort you have picked it will take a varying amount of time to cook. Remember to start it so that it is ready at the same time as the fish and sauce.
7. If you want to make this more nutritional, try adding some brocolli and peas. Boil them both in salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and add to the recipe along with the cream. The additon of some chopped dill, will make this a really special dish.

Fresh herbs are a great way to enhance the flavour of your dishes. Here are nine common varieties that are easy to get hold of and some ideas of what you can put them with.
ingredients
4 skinless, boneless, chicken breast halves (or you can use chicken thighs)
1 tablespoon of garlic paste
1 and a half tablespoons of dried herbs
3 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of butter

PARSLEYA good all-rounder, particularly tasty with a squeeze of lemon on grilled fish.
OREGANO
Used a lot in Italian cooking. Great with tomato based sauces – not so good with white meat.
BASIL
A wonderful accompniment to tomato and chicken dishes. Delicious in homemade pesto.
ROSEMARY
Baa... lamb and rosemary were made for each other.
MINT
Classically this goes best with lamb but is also lovely with summer salads and perfect with pimms.
CORRIANDER
For that asian touch, throw in a handful of chopped corriander to give it an authentic flavour.
DILL
Add this to some cream and serve up with fish. So simple yet delicious.
THYME
This is universal and adds a robust, distincitve flavour. Add this to a little honey and mustard on roast pork.
