All recipes are calorie counted, so whether you want to cook for yourself, for someone special or for every member of your flat-share, there's plenty to choose from that's healthy and designed to fit within a student budget.

Authorm Ester Davies, a food and nutrition consultant, says: "This guide proves that healthy eating doesn't have to be dull and boring.

"Discovering the basics of nutrition, coupled with practical advice, will help students all over to feel better and to cope better, encouraging them to eat better for a healthier life."
