Cooking in Communal Kitchens: Cheap, Yummy Hostel Dinners
When I arrived in New Zealand, my observations of the people around me led me to understand that hostel cooking is basically like college cooking: ramen, pesto pasta, frozen pizzas, and microwave meals. But I didn't just want cheap and easy. The most important factor is yummy!

Easy, Yummy Hostel Dinners: One Pot Veggie Risotto
When I arrived in New Zealand, my observations of the people around me led me to understand that hostel cooking is basically college cooking: ramen, pesto pasta, frozen pizzas, and microwave meals. But I didn't just want cheap and easy. The most important factor is yummy! After six months these are my go-to hostel dinners. This One Pot Veggie Risotto is super easy and so yummy, but it does take about a half an hour, so it's one of the longer recipes on here. But so much reward for just a little work.

Easy, Yummy Hostel Dinners: Almost Instant Pizza
When I arrived in New Zealand, my observations of the people around me led me to understand that hostel cooking is basically college cooking: ramen, pesto pasta, frozen pizzas, and microwave meals. But I didn't just want cheap and easy. The most important factor is yummy! Pizza isn't usually my go to, but since so many people around me were cooking up frozen pizzas in the hostel ovens, I started to get a craving. But not for frozen pizza. I wanted a yummy pizza that didn't taste like cardboard.
