Student's Vegetarian Cookbook, Revised : Quick, Easy, Cheap, and Tasty Vegetarian Recipes

Rating:
Summary: Easy, delicious recipes to please any vegetarian palate.
Review: The recipes in Student's Vegetarian Cookbook are designed for people with not much money and even less time. The recipes use easily obtained fresh and prepared ingredients and each recipe gives preparation and cooking times. The book includes a nice blend of vegan and non-vegan dishes as well as pointers on products and preparation for the beginning vegetarian. Great breakfast ideas, salads and bean dishes!

Summary: best of the batch
Review: The Student's Vegetarian cookbook is in my mind the best of all the cookbooks in this category. Having graduated from student-status a while ago, this is the vegetarian cookbook I still use. The recipes are delicious, and the whole tone is pleasant. It's like having a good friend, who also happens to be a great cook, in the house at all times.

Summary: delivers what it promises
Review: The thing I liked about this book was that the recipes taste complex and sophisticated, but they're easy enough for a busy college student to make. The ingredients are inexpensive and easy to find, too. Raymond takes classics from all over the world and simplifies them for the first-time cook, keeping their essences intact. The other good thing is that the food is very healthy and low-fat. No college student who uses this book will need to worry about the "freshman 15". I think it would make a great gift for the college-bound.

Summary: Not just for students
Review: This book is a comprehensive book of easy, healthy, and delicious recipes. I am graduating college in a week and I'm sorry that I didn't find this book sooner! I will definitely keep using this book long after my student days are over. What's great about this book is that there are many "classic" vegetarian recipes (such as hummus, miso soup, pasta vegetable salad) that many other vegetarian cookbooks overlook (because they figure that you already know how to make those things). The only disappointment I have had with the book so far is the Mountain High Chocolate Cake (ended up mushy and vinegar-tasting on top), but everything else has been delicious (fruit smoothie, french toast, etc). If one is a vegan, she offers substitutes for milk & eggs (although these items are used infrequently anyway). Also, since I cook for just my husband and me, I appreciate that the recipes are designed for 1-2 people (so I don't end up with leftovers for 5 people!). By the way, we are not exclusively vegetarian, but like to eat healthy at home, and this book allows us to do that. Also check out my other favorites: Jeanne Lemlin's "Quick Vegetarian Pleasures" and Nava Atlas' "Vegetarian Express."

Summary: A cookbook for everyone
Review: This is a great book. It's very approachable, and very refreshing compared to more intimidating cook books. The recipes are easy and fast, the ingredients are simple and inexpensive, and there's a great variety, from soups to enchiladas to deserts. There's also very helpful advise on what foods to keep on hand and what to look for in all different kinds of produce. A useful book for anyone with or without cooking experience, of whatever dietary inclinations (vegan, vegetarian, omnivorous). Makes you realize it is possible to cook tasty meals on a student's budget and schedule.

Summary: Very good, very cheep, very easy recipies
Review: This is such a great book I had to buy a second copy for my mother. This is cooking anyone can do, with ingredients that are either simple or well explained. I haven't tried a recipe yet that hasn't been good.

Summary: Zestful vegetarian classics
Review: This practical resource for those new to vegetarian cooking offers quick renditions of global culinary favorites (hummus in 8 minutes; a lovely Pad Thai in just 20 minutes), some dependable vegetarian classics (pasta primavera and roasted red bell peppers), and a sprinkling of off-beat gems (beer pancakes, "Miso-Happy" soup). A glossary of cooking terms and a guide to shopping for produce give advice even veteran foodies can learn from.

Summary: Sensational!!!
Review: Until I received this book as a gift, I had no idea it was so easy and tasty to eat vegetarian. I am not a student, I am an adult with health problems. It was suggested to me that I alter my diet to that of a vegetarian. And boy do I feel better already. I highly recommend this book to any beginning vegetarian or to any vegetarian period. My Thanks to Carole Raymnond for sharing her expertise with the world!

Summary: Serve up a whole kitchen of no fuss feasts.
Review: When I moved into my first apartment, I was excited about cooking for myself. The first night I made spaghetti! The second night I made spaghetti. The third night I made...spaghetti. Desperate for inspiration I turned to Student¹s Vegetarian Cookbook. This book contains both excellent recipes and tips and techniques that make cooking easy.

Summary: Vegetarian college student who loves this book!
Review: When i went off to college, i no longer could afford the convienient frozen vegetarian foods (veggie burgers, chik patties, etc.) so i needed something that required little time, ingredients, and was cheap. Then i got this book, i have made about 75% of the recipes and i love them. it requires a small amount of ingrediants and suggests substitutions if the item is not in your kitchen. I love the soups and pasta dishes. The recipes are healthy, but most of all easy for a cheap, broke college student as i am.
