So the resident cook in my place (sister) has decided to leave for Japan on exchange, leaving me
foodless. Faced with the prospect of death by starvation, and lacking anyone to tell to go back to
the kitchen, I decided to arm myself with the power of google, and a highschool education in Chemistry.
Also prior experience in living by myself helped heaps as well

This blog will host recipes that I have tried and tested myself, and are both simple but delicious. Perfect for
those who want to spend less time on cooking and eating so that they can enjoy more video games, while
still being a far healthier alternative to microwave meals and snack food. These recipes all serve 4, unless
otherwise stated.

Feel free to share your own recipes and tricks, together we can end gamer hunger! (Due to lack of ability to
cook for themselves)
