Our Favorite Easy Recipes to Make in a College Dorm
19 Recipes
Cooking in a college dorm is like being on a reality cooking show: You might have a stove — or not. You could have a microwave that smells like popcorn no matter how many times it’s cleaned. Sometimes things left in a communal fridge seem to disappear into the ether (um, we mean your neighbor’s room). But embracing the challenge and cooking a meal with your friends in a dorm or off campus apartment is totally worth it.
These easy recipes for college students are quick, simple, and can all be made with basic kitchen equipment — though a blender will come in handy for a couple of them. You’ll find Alison Roman’s matzo brei, potato challah from Molly Yeh, plus cucumber curry soup and wings with paprika and thyme.
For something sweet, try chocolate chip olive oil mandel bread and tahini chocolate truffles that require just three ingredients and 10 minutes in the kitchen (seriously).
