I received these books from Ulysses Press for review. With students moving back into college dorms or off campus apartments, they will appreciate a cookbook that has tasty, but inexpensive recipes that they can use to help them meet their budget. And for those of legal drinking age, knowing how to make a good cocktail will make them very popular. For these reasons, the following books would be great gift choices.
