meet Ben
When I’m not in class or at work, you’ll find me cooking away, testing new recipes in my snug dorm kitchen. Coming from a home without a microwave (Gasp!), I was so enthused to create this three-course meal for College & Cook’s first issue. Developing both the classic & dorm-friendly preparations for the menu was a fun & challenging culinary frontier for me, and I think it was a success! My tip to you: As college cooks, we have limited pantries, so use these recipes as a guide, not a rule. Your cafeteria only serves raspberries in the fruit salad? No problem! A raspberry napoleon would surely be just as delicious as a strawberry one. Happy Valentine’s, & happy eating! *Ben is a sophomore studying Finance at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
