    A Freshers GuidePart 1: The KitchenFirst of all, a very warm welcome to all freshers! When you start off cooking for yourself for the first time, there are always a multitude of questions to be asked concerning various topics, from what kitchen utensils you should own to what you can and cant freeze. Below is part one of my top-tips for freshers, an odd assortment of advice that attempts to answer some of those questions and give you a few tips to help you on your way. This is in no way exhaustive, so if you have any tips of your own, Id love to hear about them.

    What You Should OwnThis section is relatively unnecessary, as most mothers will have filled an MPV with all the equipment that they are certain you cannot survive without. And even what you (miraculously) dont already have is bound to be owned by one of your flat mates. Still, it cant hurt just to go over the basics again. There may even be something youve missed off your list...Sauce pans. At least 3, of varying sizes and preferably with lids.Frying pans. Two would be useful one big and one small.A Wok. Not the obvious choice, but I managed to get a 25cm non-stick one for about 2.50 from Asda last year. Its been invaluable.A mixing bowl. Even if youre not going to be doing much baking, one of these will come in use at some point.A measuring jug. A good glass Pyrex one is relatively inexpensive, but you can get plastic ones for even cheaper.An oven tray or two. I recently got a 33cm Tescos Value deep roasting tray for less than 1 . I had a flat one before, which is fine though it did get me into a sticky situation once (excuse the pun) when some sausages and the accompanying fat decided to alight the tray whilst I was trying to remove them from under the grill. Hopefully that problem wont occur with the deep tray...A sieve always useful for when draining rice etc., or as an inferior/temporary substitute for a colander.An oven/casserole dish great for making pasta bakes which are easy, cheap, filling and (can be) healthy. A chefs knife aside from all the normal cutlery, make sure you own at least one decent sized chefs knife. These dont have to cost a lot and make chopping so much easier than those little knives. (Theres a great knife-skills video on the BBC Good Food website.) A chopping board or two whether plastic or wooden doesnt matter too much, just make sure you have a couple you will need them!Oven gloves doesnt really need explaining...

    The Store CupboardYou should always have a certain amount of ingredients in your store cupboard for two reasons: One, much of your cooking is likely to involve/require these ingredients, and two, in case of an emergency youve run out of food and cant make it to the shops, for example. The following list contains the bare basics that everyone should own:Dried PastaDried Rice and/or noodlesSalt and (black) pepper (black tastes better and recipes always seem to ask for this)SugarOlive oilTinned/chopped tomatoesflourSome sort of dried herbs are always useful (such as oregano)Garlic Supermarket ShoppingWith many universities, you wont have a choice as to which supermarket to shop at therell be the one thats nearest and most convenient, and thats it. But at Roehampton were quite fortunate and have a choice, so its worth considering where you want to shop. If youre going to be shopping at a supermarket for three years (or more) shouldnt you get something back for it? The majority of Roehampton students, it seems, shop at Asda because its close and its big. I tend to shop at the smaller and slightly further away Sainsburys as, among other things, I collect Nectar points, meaning Im slowly earning free food!

    Sell-Bys and Bulk BuysOne of the first things youll realise about shopping for one person is that it is a pain in the pan-seared posterior. Nearly everything is cheaper in bulk, but as theres only one of you, you dont need bulk. Another problem is that even if you do decide to buy in bulk, do you have the storage space? And then there are sell-by dates. If you can store it, can you eat it before it goes off? Whilst on the topic of sell/use/consume/eat/scoff/munch-by dates, its worth realising that these dates are only relative for some foods at least. Supermarkets are legally obligated to put a use-by date on their foods, so theyll put them there whether strictly necessary or not.

    Some foods are fine past their date; for example I had a pack of grated mild cheddar that went well past the date but was perfect. Tins also are almost immortal. With foods such as fruit and milk, you can tell when theyre past their prime because they smell, taste and/or look bad. But dont mess with meat - eat it within the date. Overall, just use common sense, and dont hold me accountable if you get ill from eating something mouldy(!) - Im not saying ignore these dates Im just saying that some of them are a little on the pessimistic side. Going back to bulk buying, sharing shopping with your flat-mates is an obvious solution to the shopping-for-one problem. However, you probably wouldnt want to do this too much as it could get quite complicated what with owing each other money and whatnot. Trying to split big milk bottles evenly could be quite difficult too. A good compromise is to buy foods such as pasta in bulk and split the costs, and then do the rest of your shopping yourself.

    Economy GastronomyOne thing many people, even students, are often dubious about is the economy range of any supermarket. But students are on a tight budget, and so often feel forced into the cheap ranges (unless youre like my good colleague Fred the Friendly Viking, who is probably unique in being the only student in the U.K. to shop at Waitrose). But take heart; there is little need to be afraid of these foods. Some of the economy range, it has to be said, isnt that great but most of it is absolutely fine; its just cheaper because it simply hasnt got the fancy packaging, or in the case of fruit and veg, everything isnt neat and uniform in size and shape. If youre unsure, all you have to do is read the ingredients, and if theres anything you dont like (or sounds alien) you dont have to buy it. But youll probably find that cheap stuff doesnt even have to have lots of artificial flavourings, colourings, preservatives, or insanitary additives as I discovered with my Sainsburys Basics Meat Lasagne (see May 2010 issue of Fresh). The only bottom range food I tend to avoid is sausages A quick glance over the back of the pack reveals only about 42% of the sausage is actual pork. Grim.

    In short, just read the packet; see where its from and whats in it and you should be able to make a good judgement. Economy ranges arent all bad.

    Another thing you will discover is that its actually more expensive to eat healthily. Whereas a good packet of custard creams will only cost about 30p, a bag of bananas will cost over a pound. And thats just one very small example. Just dont be tempted to save a few pennies and eat unhealthily, because though your wallet may thank you, your body wont.

    Just a couple more tips:Always write a shopping list. That way you wont forget anything, and if you stick to it you wont go beyond your budget.Eat before you go. If you shop when hungry youll end up with all sorts of confectionery in your trolley, and no recollection of buying it.If you shop closer to closing time theres more likely to be reduced items that are near/on the sell-by and needing to be cleared.

    Thats it for now I hope you find this useful. Read part two in next months Fresh; just a few more tips on getting inspiration and cooking itself. Cant be bothered to wait? See my blog at http://fraichefood.blogspot.com.

    FRESHERS WEEK 2010Our Student Media Officers report back on the week that was. Memory permitting... MONDAY: As I sit down to write this, the time is twenty-five minutes to eight. This makes me believe, that if the Freshers are anything like my year, they would be pre-drinking with their new friends of a mere matter of days, if not, hours. These people are undoubtedly going to become some of the best friends in your life.

    This is going to be the first Bop experience for the Freshers and they will get to know why the students of Roehampton lust over the main weekly event throughout the year. The cheesy music, the fancy dress themes, the friends, the new faces, the practicality and the cheap drink to name but a few of many reasons. Tonights Bop will be special though because Matt Horne, famous for his role as Gavin in Gavin and Stacey, will be Dj-ing the event. I will report on the event when I return home with an interview and a few comments from students new and old, and by that time Ill probably be pretty wasted myself, so Ill apologise in advance. Its now three in the morning, and as I promised, I am reporting back on the evenings events. The Freshers at Bop partied hard, and it was clear to see the Roehampton spirit and those friendships that I previously mentioned are blossoming. Both rooms were crammed full of new students and a few very lucky continuing students. Third year and RSU Campaigns Officer Lauren Mancoon Mcguigan was celebrating with her Freshers and said The new students are all so nice, and the Bop really works with the new bar, it gives us two alternative spaces to dance. [The Freshers] seem to all be enjoying it, I think its awesome. Matt Horne came on at about midnight and showed us he wasnt just a pretty-faced celebrity but he also knew what he was doing behind the decks as he mixed tracks in and out of each other like a pro. The crowd was fantastic tonight, I played a few more alternative tracks as I probably should have done but I got a great reception from the Freshers who were brilliant he said.

    TUESDAY: Tuesday nights event was the Laugh out Loud comedy evening which was hosted in the big top tent on Froebel Lawn, also known as Wonder Womans knickers. The main event was Inbetweeners head of year and fronting member of comedy group We are Klang, Greg Davies, also self titled fat old man. He came on at about nine oclock and stunned the audiences with his height of 68 and his bellowing voice. The majority of his set involved him telling stories of his time spent as a teacher and the kids he had come across. He also used audience participation very well and got the Freshers all involved. The crowd gave Greg a great reception and afterwards he stated the crowd were great, I am usually quite crude so its nice to perform to a younger crowd. It was the perfect warm up gig.

    WEDNESDAY:For those who dont know, The Grand is a monthly event set in an elegant club in Clapham that is a converted theatre. Tonight though is going to be different, we have visually artistic DJ Beat a Maxx who mixes his tracks alongside video to create great incredible visual effects and videos. Within mixing tracks he also infused his set with a variety of popular culture references from television such as Facejacker, Family Guy, X factor, and even The Jeremy Kyle Show. The club filled up incredibly quickly and avid Tweeter Beat a Maxx later tweeted about the event and thanked Roehampton Freshers for a show that rocked. The dance floor was rammed upon entry and the club management even opened up the higher tiers of the club so that the students could access another bar and also get great views of the two big projector screens on which Beat a Maxx displayed his videos. This event in many of the Freshers eyes was the event of the week so far, and the one to beat. Many voices were lost inside the club and if not they were sure to be so on the bus journey back from Clapham where the rivalry and banter between all four colleges was amongst some of the most proud I have witnessed. I myself had an incredible time and not only bumped in to a few familiar faces from previous nights out but I also met some more, all of whom seem to fit right into the Roehampton style of partying hard.

    THURSDAY: Thursday was incredible. It was set back on campus with the new indie night showcasing some of musics freshest talent. To start the year, the union was fortunate enough to bring in beat-boxings finest Beardyman. The evening started with some of indies best tracks from the best bands including, the obvious, The Libertines, Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes and a whole variety of music worthy of you putting on your dancing shoes. At around half past nine, five of Roehamptons favourite boys, in the name of Beatbullyz kicked off with an incredible live set. The bands genre is hard to pin down, they use a variety of instruments and mix up a very British vocal band with drums and guitars with synthesizers, and keyboards and even an on-stage DJ to create something bewilderingly brilliant. Their songs will never get old as they always play around with it and introduce new ideas, instruments and genres such as hip hop, rap, rock and dub-step to name a few. They were also pretty keen to plug their new album which is now in stores. During a short interval, the records kept spinning and the drinks kept coming for all, regardless of the thought of an influx of the dreaded Freshers Flu which, by this time in the week, begins to creep up on unsuspecting first years who are too drunk to realise how much theyve had to drink. Then Beardyman came on. Many people expected him to do his traditional beat-boxing, but he didnt. Although he used his voice in his tracks and set some voice recordings on a loop, it wasnt a showcase of what people know him for. That didnt matter as what he was doing was still fantastic. Beardymans tour manager explained that hes moving away from the beat-boxing thing, hes done that. Hes a bit like a talented Chameleon, hell change what he does every show, and I dont think even he knows entirely what hes going to do. This time Beardyman was sticking with the

    theme left behind from the Beatbullyz, which was a lot more dub-step influenced. You can watch a video interview and an improvised beat-box from Beardyman online at: www.roehamptonstudent.com Also see more of Beardyman and Beatbullyz at:http://www.beardyman.co.uk/http://www.beatbullyz.com/

    FRIDAY: Friday was a very wet freshers fair and by this time the tent had begun to flood, but none the less, the students came in heavy numbers. This is the one event where you are more likely to write your name approximately 70 times just for the sake of a free bottle opener, which by the time you finish you realise you have over thirty. It was good fun, despite the rain with the rowers bringing down a rowing machine and Dominos Pizza bringing a gargantuan amounts of pizza with them. The evening was chilled so that the union staff could prepare themselves for the main event and a Roehampton first, that was the Freshers Ball. SATURDAY: Saturday hosted Roehamptons first ever Freshers Ball with appearances from Hollyoaks residents turned TV presenters Max and OB and international star Lemar. There was also a ram-packed Silent Social in the Big Top tent where you could choose from two DJs, one playing Pop, Cheese and Ballads and the other playing alternative and rock. Now over to Becca for the whole story.

    What happened at The Freshers Ball 2010? Vodka happened. With a crazy mix of Gary Coates Cheese & regular indie anthems from Richard Williams the silent disco was my favourite part of the night. Lemar who? Sounds like you guys agreed with me, the Silent Social in the big top was the place to be at Freshers Ball 2010.

    After crossing the Irish sea to get there, I arrived in Hammersmith for the 72 with a face like a bee munching sumo wrestler. I was Cinderella, with Anant Naik my Fairy Godmother on hand at the gate with my ticket I was ready for action. I meant business. I drank Vodka. So as my memories are very hazy, I decided to ask you lovely lot at our fab new Union bar what you thought of the night as a whole.

    Hi my names Caroline, Im a fresher at Southlands. Freshers Ball was awesome and the best experience of Freshers week. I joined everything this week, I got sick of course - Freshers Flu, but everyone carried on anyway! It was just awesome. I would definitely recommend next years Freshers to go to a Freshers Ball. Oh and I wore a wicked dress too! It had every single colour imaginable! I asked Caroline what would she like most from our Student Union this year and she said Id like them to make me the mascot of the football team for Southlands! Ill see what Alex can do...Thanks Caroline! Hi my names Ingrid, Im a fresher from Southlands too & Im from Norway. I thought Freshers Ball was really nice and fun with so many people. I liked the Silent Disco best! Thatll please Gary! I liked the music there the most. I love how social the uni is and how many events the Union have on. Thanks to Ingrid! My names Dan

    from Southlands, Im a third year and I thought Freshers Ball was amazing. I saw Lemar, saw one song. It took me back to about two years ago, doing my A levels & all that. Freshers Ball generally was a good time, I question if it was worth 20. I would recommend it but it was basically a glorified Bop. However I think its good to have them, Summer ball was worth 50 definitely. But I still had an epic time. Cheers Dan!

    Hi my names Bobby, Im in second year. I though that the Freshers Ball was just an overpriced Bop, I didnt even see Lemar. I think the Silent Social was the best part, with the Big Top and Gary Coates Epic music taste. I enjoyed the night, but I did get so drunk! I would have rather paid a tenner for it but still an epic night.

    Seems like you survivors of first year wanted more bang for your buck! However you funky freshers were impressed by the night as a whole, it was awesome seeing so many new and old faces. We all had an amazing night and Id like to thank everyone who helped put the event together. We had a Blast !

    The entire week was a massive success for the students and the union and we hope the new students found it a great way to settle in. Good luck for the rest of the year and look forward to Re-Freshers in January where we all have another week with nothing to do apart from drinking and partying.

    GAMINGEurogaming Expo 2010A short journey on the 265 bus from campus and a few stops on the District Line brought me to the Brompton Hall in West Brompton, home of the conveniently-placed-for-Roehampton-University-students Eurogamer Expo 2010, presenting me with a fantastic opportunity to get ahead of the game (no pun intended, of course), and to play first-hand, upcoming releases from the biggest names in gaming.

    Billed as the UKs biggest gaming event, exhibitors included Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, and many, many more. And in my giddiness, I attempted to have a go at as many games as I could, provided the hordes of die-hard fans would not deter me from waiting.

    The first game was Sonys big thing of 2010, the PlayStation Move. The Move is something that has held my interest this year, it is most definitely a product which splits public opinion; the Nintendo fans are quick to point out the blatant plagiarism committed by Sony in Moves development, while Sony supporters swiftly profess Moves superiority to the Nintendo Wiis motion controls. Speaking personally as a player of both the Wii and the PS3, I failed to see the reason for excitement in the Move, or its Xbox 360 counterpart, Kinect (more on that later), but I picked up the Move to play a game of Wii Play-reminiscent Table Tennis.

    Theres no denying it, Nintendo fans, Sonys product is much more honed and technically more accurate than what the Wii offers without Motion Plus. The paddle on screen precisely copied my movements, moving in any direction that I held it, allowing me to strike the ping pong ball in any way I pleased; the spin generated by the position of my paddle was accurate, and the game does punish you for wild flailing, with a particularly powerful shot from me clearing the table by miles. Perhaps my mind would be changed if the game was more exciting, but I felt that showing off the Move using games available on the Wii was probably a bad way to convince most gamers that the Move is truly bringing something new to the table.

    Moving on from Table Tennis (again, no pun intended), I entered an area with driving games aplenty; here, I was able to play Gran Turismo 5, MotorStorm: Apocalypse, F1 2010, and Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit. Evolution Studios MotorStorm: Apocalypse is a fun and interesting racer, taking place in an apocalyptic city, with buildings falling and various things exploding as you frantically race to the end. Racing would be one of the last things on my mind if the world was ending, but the enjoyable Burnout-esque experience allowed me to let that slide. The game controls well, and if you crash due to a stray piece of...umm, building, its entirely your fault, as the game keeps the player in control even when a piece of debris blocks your route, and you should be able to clear the way. Graphically, the game was stunning, with the destructive environments looking fantastic on a 3DTV, often providing the illusion that stuff was flying at your face. I enjoyed Hot Pursuit very much too; with its arcade-style gameplay and lush graphics, Hot Pursuit looks like it could be the title to reinvigorate the flailing Need For Speed series.

    Sonys Gran Turismo 5 looks like it will be a worthy successor in the GT line, with its jaw-dropping visuals and its realistic driving physics. Racing in a dusty desert track, the name of which eludes me, it was quickly made clear to me that the turning would be nowhere near as nice as in Apocalypse, and I quickly had to adapt back to the control scheme I picked up when I downloaded the Gran Turismo Time Trial demo earlier this year. Slightly odd is Sonys preference to use the X button for acceleration, while most driving games these days have accepted that the R2 button is a better choice. This, however, can be changed. All in all, it does seem that the agonising wait of GT fans will be worth it.

    Stepping out of the drivers seat now, I was able to play Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, the next instalment in Ubisofts popular Assassins Creed series. Watching videos for this game suggested to me that the basic gameplay of the title would remain faithful to its prequels, so it was somewhat pleasing to see that Ubisoft were offering players at Eurogamer a chance to test the new multiplayer mode, set up to play with gamers on 7 other consoles in the area. The new multiplayer feature is essentially like one in a first-person shooter, with the goal being to assassinate other players while being careful not to be killed yourself. Naturally, there is a lot of covert play and free-running movement involved in completing this aim, and the game runs smoother than its prequels, with scaling, climbing, escaping through crowds and jumping across buildings done without a hint of lag or frame rate change.Nintendo seemed to be taking a risky strategy in this years Eurogamer, with most attendees claiming that their section of the expo was considerably smaller than last year; despite not attending last year, I was extremely disappointed...initially, with what Nintendo had to offer this year, with two of the highlights in a rather small selection of around 6-7 games being Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M, both titles which have already been released some time ago. Due to this, the focus on Nintendo was primarily at upcoming titles, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirbys Epic Yarn and the remake of the classic GoldenEye.

    GoldenEyes demo was limited to a quick 4-player multiplayer deathmatch, and using the Classic Controller, the game played exactly like any other first-person shooter available. I noted that the game ran smoothly and controlled very comfortably, but I couldnt help but note the graphical inferiority of the game to other FPS exhibits such as Brink or Crysis 2. However, graphical inferiority is part and parcel for a Wii gamer; another issue I felt was

    the lack of real precision. In games such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, you really have to get your aim exactly right to get the kill, and I didnt get this feeling from GoldenEye, as I got many kills from simply shooting at the body as I chased my opponent. I dont know, its possible that the true feeling of the game will come from the single player story mode, but I left the multiplayer with a feel of a fun, yet done before mode.Kirbys Epic Yarn and Donkey Kong Country Returns were both playable in a 2-player co-operative mode, and it was quite interesting to see the parallels and differences between both titles. Epic Yarn takes place in a very cutesy (actually prompting an Awww from my girlfriend at one point), yet very intricate and clever world, composed entirely of yarn and other materials, sort of like LittleBigPlanet on the PS3, with puzzles being composed of manipulation of these materials, such as unzipping an area or emoving a button from the background to find a new area. In contrast, Donkey Kong Country Returns plays in a jungle world, filled with bananas, wood, foliage and water, playing more like a traditional platformer rather than interacting with the background. Returns plays a LOT like the old school Donkey Kong games on the Super Nintendo, and will undoubtedly bring back memories as well as disillusioned fans annoyed with Donkey Kongs recent mediocrity. Both of the titles play similarly to last years New Super Mario Bros. Wii, with both players needing to work in tandem to complete the level at its best. For example, Epic Yarn sees the two cute yarn characters use each other as weapons, or throwing each other to reach areas you cant reach on your own. Donkey Kong Country Returns decides to adopt a different approach by giving either Donkey or Diddy Kong a specific ability (such as Diddy Kongs jet pack), which can be used in certain scenarios to progress. Overall, the games play very well, and are sure to please Nintendo fans keen to play some less prominent home-grown franchises.

    The final thing I looked out for was Kinect, Microsofts answer to the Nintendo Wii. Operating very much like an advanced EyeToy from the old PlayStations, its high price tag has deterred some fans from getting too excited about it. The main display of Kinect showed three dancers following dance moves, with precision being required to collect the maximum

    amount of points, but to be totally honest, it didnt seem that different from Just Dance 2, the surprisingly entertaining Wii party dancing game just a few stalls down. So at the moment, for me, the jury is still out on Kinect.

    Overall, the Eurogamer Expo was a great day out, getting to try all the upcoming games sure to cause a fuss in the gaming world, and as a plus, it is very easily accessible to any Roehampton gamers! Just one thing to remember: make sure to know what is around you; I noticed, very close to the end of the evening, a big black curtained booth in the Nintendo area, very covertly hiding a playable demo of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, only to be allowed in too late to play it!! The Eurogamer Expo: definitely one to look out for next year!
