The Reddit College Cookbook was inspired by a college student who was fed up with the cafeteria food offered by the school. He asked his forum of choice for some good, cheap, recipes catered to a college student's lifestyle. The hive mind delivered, and soon the digital cookbook was born. The cookbook is packed with recipes someone with limited cooking utensils or ingredients can still easily pull off. Although it's not the most organized cookbook you will find out there, it's certainly packing a lot of content. With over 120 recipes ranging from Pasta Alla Carbonara to Veggie Enchilada Casserole, the frugal chef in you is bound to find something.

For an added bonus, the cookbook even shares a few pages of helpful tips and informative links for those of you just getting started in the kitchen. The usefulness of these tips may be different based on your location, so keep in mind that your mileage may vary.
