As many youngsters embark on life at university, full of excitement and anticipation, many parents will worry about their wellbeing and particularly if they are eating properly!
Over the years I have many phone calls from anxious parents asking for copies of the Dairy Book of Home Cookery to pack up along with the bumper packs of loo roll.
Though many are sceptical about students cooking, they may be surprised to know that many do.
My student-speciality was broccoli topped with chopped tomatoes and grated Cheddar (let’s hope student skills have improved since my day!)
There are several student cooking blogs, Facebook pages and even a dedicated website www.studentcooking.tv.
Uni-goers, of course, are always on a budget and for economical reasons (even if it is only to save more beer money!) home cooking may be essential. Eggs are the frugal cook’s best friend as they are so cheap yet versatile. They should grace any students’ fridge alongside the mouldy carrots and crate of lager.
Coincidently, this week is National Egg Week – so let’s celebrate the magic of the egg with recipes from www.wakeuptoeggs.co.uk or the 2012 Dairy Diary, from which this delicious omelette is taken.

The first Bramley tree grew from pips planted by a young girl, Mary Ann Brailsford, in her garden in Southwell in 1809. Matthew Bramley (local butcher) bought the cottage and garden in 1846 and ten years later Henry Merryweather (local nurseryman), took cuttings from the tree and started to sell the apples bearing the owners name.
