Scape student cookbook

Here's our essential guide to help you discover quick and simple meals that can be created in the comfort of your own student kitchen.

We're on a mission to help set our students up for the best possible experience at university, and that includes providing valuable life skills such as cooking. Having surveyed students, a whopping 65% feel that they don't have time to cook, with nearly half admitting to have never been taught any culinary skills whatsoever. We have teamed up with Mei-Ying Chow, a YouTube Blogger and London based student, to create an essential guide to help you discover quick and simple meals that can be created in the comfort of your own student kitchen. You'll master new recipes that will not only help you eat healthy, nutritious meals through your studies, but will also save you time and money in the long run too! VIEW THE COOKBOOK HERE>
