Amidst the barren frost dunes of her fourth Hanover winter, college senior Sophia phoned Dr. Ellen (Auntie) late one night with a simple, absurd idea: to write a gourmet cookbook...for college students. Four months of eating Mac 'n Cheese out of the box had made the phrase 'gourmet college' seem almost oxymoronic to the cynical senior, but they both sensed they were onto something big. Why not find a way to teach students how to make affordable, healthy, quick, and above all delicious food? Their nefarious plan sat on the back burner for the next year, as Sophia was off on adventures in China and Pakistan. Upon her return, the duo donned their aprons and set to work. When it came to concocting and sampling tasty food, everyone was ready to labor over the stove and dinner table alike. Brainstorming chapters, calculating each meal's budget, photographing dips and spreads, recording and editing recipes, filming the instructional DVD-these were the true challenges of the creative process. Finally, after months of dedication, they had a cookbook!

Our cookbook is an introductory guide to affordable gourmet cooking targeted at college students with access to a kitchen. We hope that by fulfilling this unmet need in the culinary market we will be able to provide students with an understanding of how to create and maintain a lifestyle conductive to healthy gourmet cooking. We have taken the financial situation of the average student into account in advising which ingredients to buy and giving prices to expect to pay. The recipes aim to dissuade students form establishing an unhealthy eating style. We have divided the cookbook into sections such as learning the language of cookbooks to brunch with friends. Each section contains recipes with varying levels of difficulty accompanied by a photo of the finished dish. Recipes include a brief description of each dish that often contains a helpful cooking hint, preparation, and cooking time.
