| 55 THE UCB COOKBOOK This cookbook exists because of the incredible generosity and enthusiasm of our UCB community. What started as a simple idea has grown into something truly special, a celebration of the diverse flavours, cultures and stories that make University College Birmingham such a vibrant place to learn and grow. TO OUR RECIPE CONTRIBUTORS Our heartfelt thanks go to every student and staff member who trusted us with their culinary treasures. To those who submitted recipes that evoke memories of family kitchens and childhood celebrations, thank you for bringing those flavours to our UCB family. To the students who perfected budget-friendly meals in tiny kitchens and shared their discoveries, you’ve created lifelines for future students navigating their first taste of independence. Thank you to everyone who supported this project - the enthusiasm and community spirit that emerged around this cookbook perfectly captures what makes UCB special. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A special recognition goes to our international students and staff who have enriched this collection with recipes from around the world. Through your contributions, new students can taste the diversity of our global community and perhaps discover flavours that will become lifelong favourites. Finally, to every new student who will use this book. You are the reason this cookbook exists. We hope these recipes will comfort you when you’re homesick, make you feel proud when feeling adventurous, and nourish you when you need it most. Importantly, we hope they help you feel connected to the UCB community from day one. As you begin your own culinary journey, remember that every recipe in this book comes with an invitation - not just to cook, but to connect, to explore, and to make yourself at home in Birmingham. With gratitude and best wishes for your time at UCB. The UCB Cookbook team.
