By: Tyler Cuddeback '14My birthday is today, January 8, 2011, and my wonderful girlfriend has given me a college cookbook as a gift. For those of you that don’t know, I love to cook. I’m known, on occasion, to make whole pseudo-gourmet meals for my friends out of stuff I bought from Sweeney’s. I also just got every season of the Food Network’s “Good Eats” on DVD.
So this is my project. Using nothing more than what I can buy in a one mile radius of campus, or what Elmira refers to as “walking distance” I will prepare, once a week, a healthy, delicious meal that will feed a minimum of 4 people for under $20.
Seeing as Anderson dorm only has Stoves and not Ovens, I’m going to have to enlist the help of 2 people if a recipe calls for baking. My friend, Lauren Harris, whom lives in Meier. Meier is one of the only dorms on campus to have ovens in their kitchens. And my RLC, Adrian Jones, who has an oven in his apartment.
I have saved all of my receipts. This way I can tell you how much each meal costs. There will be a per person breakdown of how much it costs just to see that you can do it too. Also there will be lots of pictures of the whole process to tantalize your appetite. Wish me luck! My first meal is on Friday. Couscous and Vegetable stuffed Green Peppers and Szechuan Chicken.
