Exciting times are ahead!
The beginning of Semester is mere weeks away, and we remember Ayush revealing at the 2018 Valete that when he first moved to Tommy, the basics of cooking eluded him, so for all those university students who are moving into Studio Rooms this year, or using our Communal Kitchen – we’ve compiled the Ultimate College Students Guide to Entering the Kitchen.
This list has 37 how-to’s and recipes for college students in apartments.
If you’re living at Tommy More and it all seems too much, remember you can always upgrade your meal plan, and if you’re in one of our standard rooms, why not test out our communal kitchen?
Are you a member of our Alumni or a seasoned Studio or One-Bedroom Apartment student and have some tips to share, recipe links or people to follow? Let us know and we’ll include it! All tips welcome.
So without any further delay, here is our list filled with recipe inspiration and basic kitchen how-to’s.
