THE STORY BEHIND THE BOOK
When my second son went off to college, his texts back home to me were mostly about food & the suffering he was experiencing due to the lack of choices in the dining halls.
I ignored him!
I grilled his peers!
He wasn't lying!
I had to do something about it!
That's why I created this eBook.
And now I'm offering it to YOU!
Here's what your college human will learn...
...how to feed themselves
... to get creative in the kitchen

...how to use what they got

This book is the perfect balance of self-reliance and creativity, sprinkled with simple yet colorful flavor profiles that nourish both their bellies and their soul.
Hi, I’m Susan Salzman
My story begins as a 7-year old kid armed with an old cookbook and a burning desire to help others, I baked my first cake from scratch - by myself! And while most kids mess around with arts & crafts and making a mess in the kitchen, I actually sold my stuff and never stopped.
As I grew up I designed and sold jewelry, developed a unique recipe for carrot cake purchased by a local shop, and learned calligraphy in high school, offering that service to event planners.
I have built businesses out of the trunk of my car and because of that I help hundreds of artisans and go-getters build a life and business they value using the resources they already have.
This eBook culminates my love of cooking and my need to create a system in everything I do...
I couldn't just throw my tried and true (and college student-tested) recipes in a book. I wanted to create a way to teach a life-long skill and habit that is repeatable, dependable, and simple. Heck, you might want a copy too!

HERE'S WHAT MOM'S JUST LIKE YOU ARE SAYING:
Even I learned new tips & tricks!
“Susan’s cooking and the beautiful way she presents food to us is absolute inspiration. I have been watching her do her magic not only in the kitchen, but how she presents, packages and delivers both her sweet + savory treats.
More importantly - what I found most inspiring in reading this book is how, even at my age, I learned some new tips and tricks. There are so many takeaways that I am going to start implementing immediately! She makes creating delicious and healthy foods doable and less daunting.
What a wonderful gift for our college age kids and …all of us, to have Susan’s direction and passion wrapped up on the pages of this super fun digital book!! ”
- Lori K.
Wonderful step by step guide
"I can’t even tell you how wonderful it feels to be able to give my kids a step by step guide on how to get it done in the kitchen(without me by their side)!
And knowing Susan for the past three decades, I am fully aware of how she creates in the kitchen. She has taught me so many cooking tips, many of which I have already passed along to my kids. And they want to emulate everything I do and have already told me what I will be teaching their future spouses!!"

My daughter is obsessed!
""This book has Susan all over it and the layout is insane and easy to navigate"! I love the tips, the look, the ideas and how you layout the prep - so easy. It just has so much awesomeness!
My daughter just received her copy and she said, "I'm literally obsessed and have only looked at the first 10 pages"! "
- Jennifer T.
"All 3 of my boys want their own copy!"
"I am so excited about Susan’s e-book!! I am such a fan of everything she cooks and always find inspiration on her IG page! Whenever she suggests cookbooks I immediately buy them - I don’t even read the reviews. Her reviews are good enough for me!
I have 3 boys and they are all vying for a copy of this book. As am I!!"
