Peoria, IL and Denver, CO (PRWeb) February 6, 2007 -- For Immediate Release: Outskirts Press, Inc. is pleased to bring you The Real College Cookbook by G. P. McDonald. Unlike many of the so-called "starving student" cookbooks on the market, this book highlights realistic food and beverage recipes that any college student can successfully survive on--the kind of food that even the poorest, laziest, or most time-constrained scholar will be motivated to whip up in the kitchen or dorm room. McDonald shares his inspiration:

"When I started out years ago, a friend gave me a cookbook that was supposedly geared toward college students. As I looked through the highly priced, glossy text of the book, I began to think just how little this author knew about college students. The recipes were elaborate and time consuming. I knew there had to be an easier way, so I began to make my own meals from cheap ingredients and side dishes. I found what I liked and toyed around with the rest.... Little recipes and meals started to come about; these were dishes that were easy to make and food that would fill the belly until the next bland dining hall meal. I survived, and that's what college students do--they survive on less. The book my friend gave me was colorful, fancy, and nice to look at, but it didn't contain a single item my friends or I would ever make. As I moved on, from school to school, I began to compile my own list…"

The Real College Cookbook is more than just a recipe collection; it contains the author's account of his own ten-year quest for a college degree. From city to city, school to school, McDonald provides a very personal narrative of his educational odyssey and the food--or food substitutes--that he came to develop over the many years. From main courses such as Nappy with Cheese, Adult Eggs, and Pub Crawlers to delicious dessert-like creations including Sugar Tortillas and Studio Pie, the recipes will surely satisfy the belly without breaking the budget. For those students over 21, there is a bevy of beverages from Beer Cubes to Drunk Joe's Punch to a very non-traditional "Carbondale" Martini. This book should be packed into the suitcase of every young, bright-eyed student about to leave home for the first time. McDonald delivers the recipes and encourages the college student to save their pitiful savings on the good things in school--whatever they may be.
