 Rating:  - Student Cookery MINUS the Crappy Student Cookery ImageI absolutely love this book - it really is the best veggie cookbook I've ever come across! All too often the angle is that if you're veggie you must be a) doing it to be healthy (in which case the recipe book neglects the gloriously calorific, cheesy, doughy stuff in favour of stiff, crunchy vegetables) or b) doing it and having difficulty (in which case you basically get fifty recipes for Shepherd's Pie except with quorn mince substitute). It's not the book for you if you want millions of mouthwatering pictures, it's very wordy indeed - but personally I like that, and the advice given is so good it's a sure compensation. The author possibly likes the sound of her own voice a bit, mixing in family anecdotes and jokes ...

I want to be visually stimulated by the image of the food; words don't make people hungry as effectivly as images do. This book's lack of any pictures is probably its biggest weakness; without pictures, this book simply fails to get me excited about cooking the recipes within. When writing a cookery book for students, you need to consider that many students have little space, few pans, and little money. Your recipes need to use cheap, long-lasting foods that are calorie-dense and thus take up little room. You also need to write recipes that don't take very long to cook, because less time cooking = more time studying/drinking/shagging. While ...

All the recipes are really simple, using everyday store-cupboard items. I've even learned how to make my own pasta sauces. The only downside I can think of is that it is split into sections for meals for one or four people which might suit some fine, but it means you have to do some maths when you just want to cook for yourself as most students do. Luckily the rest of my flatmates love this book too and I'm also going to get a copy of this book for my mum. Rating: - Very usefulThis book is great - I have tried loads of the recipes and they all work really well. The tone of the writing is also pretty good, and the recipes are easy to follow. Recommended! |
