I put a “cookbook” together as the boys moved out. They were all adept in the kitchen but the trick is getting used to a kitchen without all the requisite pantry supplies and spices or unusual equipment. On the top of each page I put a grocery list together and I used recipes that didn’t require any unusual “stuff.” I also sent a care package with basic spices to get them going. Even thought they were very comfortable in a kitchen and all had worked back of house at restaurants they were grateful for a guide for inexpensive and non-complex recipes. Kids can also use recipes that don’t feed an army or make a ton as they often don’t have freezer containers or even freezer space to package up food for a longer period of time.
