Hi Debbie here with an idea for Students.
My son is in his first year at university and I am really hoping he might start cooking himself something reasonable to eat rather than relying on pot noodles.
Knowing how messy the kitchen will probably be I decided a plastic cover (cut from a large box) and laminated recipes was probably the way forward so that all the mess could be wiped clean.
I have chosen simple recipes, the ones that were more complicated like the curry I have already made him up a few spice bags, so all he needs to do is add them to his recipe.
He still hasn't cooked a curry but has promised he will try soon!
I am going to make my own little book of the receipes we use time and time again, much easier than ploughing through a few books for that receipe you are looking for.

Debbie this is brilliant! I love that you have made little spice sachets up ready - you are so thoughtful. This might just tip me over the edge of buying a laminator myself - I've got a drawful of recipes printed out and they are all splodged and the ink has run too, soon I won't be able to read them at all!

Ooh I think there's going to be a run on laminators, well, us two at least, lol. The spice bags are a great idea - some of the tubs are expensive for a student (everything is, to be honest).

My big son is in the process of applying to Uni.... I loved your idea. He loves curry and although he can cook, the spice sachets are a fab idea. Tfs

Simply an amazing idea xxxx
Not just students but anyone really. Who ever thinks of putting spices in a book ? A GENIUS :)
Well done x
