Cheap & cheerful
Proper food, small budget, one hob and a slightly questionable frying pan. Jan helps you stretch the shop and use what's already in the cupboard.
Rice, eggs, frozen peas. Done.
Instant noodles, but make them excellent.
Tins and spices doing the heavy lifting.
Golden, crisp, gloriously stringy.
Make your own: “Student budget, basic equipment”
