Each week BBC Gloucestershire will publish a tasty student recipe in one of the following categories. We promise they'll be quick, easy and cheap to make!

One saucepan recipes
Just what it says - a meal you can make in just one pan.

The 'morning after' breakfast
Fab recipes for helping you through that hellish hangover.

Cold food surprise
Great for the summer term but a bit sad in winter. Out of the can and into the bowl recipes have been favourites with students since the invention of tin cans.

Total sandwich
Only students really know how to do the total sandwich. The skill has been passed on from generation to generation. Basic premise is - get all the food groups in between two slices of bread.

Chicken stew
This is a one pan recipe. If you are a veggie you can substitute the chicken for quorn chunks and the chicken stock for veggie stock.

Cooking time: 30 mins

2 chicken breasts - cubed
1 large onion - finely chopped
4 medium potatoes - peeled and quartered
