Quick Couscous.

Couscous is the ultimate student meal - quick, cheap and tasty. You can throw in whatever you have lying around as well to create different flavours and textures.

Admittedly not the prettiest, it is uber-tasty. Don't judge it until you've tried it!

Ingredients: The list isn't definitive - add what you want to the couscous depending on what you have.

• Half a mug full of couscous (plain or flavoured)
• A whole mug of boiling water
• 1/4 cucumber, chopped
• Sprinkling of walnuts
• Sweet chilli sauce
• Paprika

1. Pour the dry couscous into a bowl and add the water. Stir so all the couscous is covered in water then leave to stand for 3-5 minutes, or until all the water has been soaked up by the couscous.
2. Fluff up the couscous with a fork.
3. Add your toppings! Mix the paprika with the couscous, then throw on the cucumber and walnuts and mix. Finish by splashing sweet chilli sauce over all of it. Enjoy!

Tom's Super Soup.

Soup is a fabulous filling meal, and doesn't have to contain unhealthy things like cream. This one is great for someone on a diet, or equally for someone who likes a bit of heat! 

Another special from Tom, he spoiled us and served this as our starter. Babe.

Have a smaller portion for a starter, or crank up the size for a main.

Ingredients:

• 6 fresh tomatoes, chopped
• 3 red pepper, chopped
• olive oil
• fresh chopped chilli or chilli flakes 

1. Heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Throw the tomatoes and peppers onto a baking tray and smother in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Put in the oven.
2. Cook for about 30-40 minutes, tossing them every ten or so. They should be perfectly roasted.
3. Put in a food blender or a large bowl if using a handheld whizzer. Blend to a thick liquid.
4. Add the chilli. You can freeze it or chill it in the fridge if you fancy gazpacho. Alternatively, serve as soon as it's soup-like! 

Leftovers Frittata.

This is a good recipe for using up whatever you have left in your kitchen. For me this consisted of feta, half a potato and beetroot. A lovely frittata could include anything from a plethora of cheeses to different vegetables to cured meats (if you're not veggie like me!). Basically just throw in whatever you fancy!

1. If using potato/carrot, boil until tender. Nom nom. 
2. Make an omelette. (Basically 2 or 3 eggs whisked together with a pinch of oregano and thrown into a pan with already hot oil swiped around the pan). 
3. Add ingredients according to whichever takes longer to cook! I.e. potato/carrot first
4. Add the rest of your ingredients (beetroot, cheese, mushrooms etc). 
5. Remove from the heat before the base burns. Add some sauce if you fancy it - I used sweet chilli, but only because I'm obsessed with it. Tuck in!
