Get your good grub from the garden this Thursday

USF students are serving up fresh (and cheap!) deliciousness from USF’s organic garden on Thursday, March 22, from 12-2. On the menu are 2 different salads, 2 different soups, 3 desserts and a gang of frittatas. Weather permitting, the farmstand will be set up on the grass between the library and Kalmanowitz Hall. We’re bringing books and DVDs about organic gardening, real food, and healthy cooking that Gleeson Library borrowers can check out on the spot.

Cookbooks for students

We are what we eat! But eating well can be challenging for busy people with odd hours or maybe not much money or running low on Dons Dollars. The library has hundreds of cookbooks in print and online and we’d like your recommendations, either of something we already have or a book we should acquire.

Some cookbooks aimed at students or anyone looking for good easy recipes are listed below. Try these or browse the link above; if you’ve used any please let us know what you think. You can even add a book review with the “Add a Review” button in the book’s library catalog record (more info here). Or make a recommendation for library purchase.
