starting with the basics. i can't deal with recipes, so pasta seemed like a good place to start for cooking-anything-anyhow. so far my intuition has served me well.

angel hair pasta aglio olio (with a bit of cream), with sakura ebi and tobiko stirred in. top with dried seaweed shreds to complete the wafu flavour. salad with cheese and spicy cuttlefish with japanese ponzu salad dressing

wayet0218aft6.jpg

wayet0218cxo2.jpg

tomato basil with prawns and mushrooms, scallops baked with ham, chilli, pesto and mozzarella, chillies and olives stuffed with feta (from the deli)

finally had enough of pasta and tried to move on to mains...

salmon steak flavoured only with seasalt and basil, topped with a light garlic cream sauce, lingonberry jam, blanched asparagus, and mash with sour cream and chives.

It's not the worst here I've seen much much worse at friend's campuses when I visit. But for the price to quality ratio I'd much rather they didn't require such a huge amount of dining money every semester, and I could spend that eating out for better food that's the same price or cheaper.
