Having just moved to London a couple of months ago, and facing several obstacles: time, resources and the dreaded b-word (that's it, budget), I was worried with how I might continue to feed myself in the way I had previously. General feeling is that students are terrible eaters; lazy, uninterested and poor. I wanted to prove that this generalization can sometimes be the other b-word.
London is full of fantastic foodie opportunities. A huge multicultural centre, we have amazing variety on our doorstep, much of it pretty cheap. Weekly markets, foreign shops and supermarkets provide rich pickings for students to find and try all sorts of different foods, meat and veg (typical student deficiencies) included.
Realistically, supermarkets are going to play a decent role - it isn't always possible to reduce your carbon footprint without increasing your budget - which is fine, as there is incredible variety available here too.
Wherever you shop, I want to show that it can be cheap, easy and relatively quick to feed yourself fabulously.
About Me

- As a lover of fabulous food for a long time, moving to university in London was going to be a bit of a challenge, especially on a new student budget - depending purely on loans. The general consensus is that sudents have the worst diet of anyone, what with the limits of budget, time and interest. I'm here to prove that is not always the case. So here it is, my student life on a plate.... bon appetit!

Well done - what a good idea! I'll add you to my blog roll :)
I learnt a lot while cooking as a student, you have to think about things a lot more to spend less and still get the flavour...
Keep up the good work!
