They seemed tempting to me because they would help …
Favourite Student Recipes
September 22, 2020
I was never into cooking before university, but living in self-catered halls made me into quite the chef. Of course, being a student on a budget and having to operate out of a shared kitchen (and fridge) meant that the recipes I could choose from were a bit limited. This is because you won’t want …

Here are some of my favourite brunches in Nottingham. But, be warned, these aren’t your movie classics with the free-flowing drinks and well-plated eggs. Nottingham has plenty of those!

Top restaurant picks for November
November 4, 2019
Let’s face it, November is probably the worst part of the academic year. It’s getting cold, you’re getting burnt out and the sun sets way too early in the day.

Tips for saving money on your food shop
April 17, 2019
Those dreaded two words ‘food shop’ make students cringe so easily, either because it means spending money or because it means a long hike in the rain which just seems like too much effort.
