Brilliant and extensive collection of recipes, ranging from simple and easy to approach to some more impressive dinner party dishes. Perfect for anyone trying to reduce their meat intake, or who is already vegan or veggie.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me access an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest feedback.

Solid and comprehensive, but didn't inspire me to cook its meals rather than the similar meals I found in more specialised cultural cuisine cookbooks.

This is a lovely intro to the world of vegan and vegetarian meals. There is something here for everyone’s tastes. A lot of the recipes are familiar to long time vegetarians but this is a wonderful reminder for them with new ideas to explore and a great recourse for new people.

Beautiful cookbook with clear and crisp, gorgeous photos, and easy to follow recipes that are well explained and well laid-out throughout. Love how they provided the vegetarian substitution to a few 'meat-y' dishes like Borsht and enabling the transition for this kind of eating.
Would make a perfect gift for a new vegetarian or a young vegetarian setting up their own kitchen

This book contains simple recipes and I would recommend it for vegetarians rather than vegans. My main issue with it, is that I like my cookbooks to have photos of the finished recipes and while this one had some, it was rather lacking in the photo department.

1000 Vegan and Vegetarian Meals is an extensive and varied collection of recipes from basic to more advanced
The majority of the ingredients are accessible and easy to find, and generally the recipes are uncomplicated. The text is small but the generous amount of good pictures are a huge bonus. It is a great book for new vegan or vegetarians and would be a good reference book to keep on the shelf

Although I am not technically a vegan or vegetarian, I do end up eating vegetarian for most of my meals. It is very rare that I'll end up with meat as part of my dinner. As such, I'm always looking for new recipes and new ways of approaching my vegetables. On the vegan side, I have to be honest and say that I can't imagine a life without cheese. But I'm trying!
The recipes in '1000 Vegan and Vegetarian Meals' are delightful and straightforward. I have the Beet Brownies recipe memorized for when summer calls for brownies! I found the recipes very approachable, despite being, in many ways, a fake chef who doesn't really understand her kitchen all that much. I will definitely be trying out these recipes in the future!

This is a no muss cookbook filled to the brim with easy and simplistic vegan and vegetarian recipes. Ranging from ultra simple, like hummus and cashew spread, to some more lengthier recipes full of a variety of ingredients, like the lentil veggie burgers.

This isn't the most impressive vegan/vegetarian cookbook I've seen recently, but it's appealing enough and will inspire some cooking with the plethora of beginner recipes it provides.

Big Full Colorful book of easy and different recipes!
I enjoyed the quantity and have a few that are on my list to try!!

I really enjoyed the variety of recipes in this book as someone new to exploring vegan cooking.

The recipes were clear and easy to follow, and the full colour pictures with each recipe gave a great visual cue as to how to prepare the recipe.

My only criticism would be that the font size was quite small, so I needed to magnify it to make it accessible to read.

Really good cookbook, nice easy to read layout with pictures. The recipes themselves all look quite simple and easy to make. No super long ingredient lists or faffy hard to find / never heard of items which is my pet hate in cookery books! Sadly the book is not completely vegan, but most of the non-vegan ones can be adapted if using vegan cheese. Can't wait to try out more of the recipes!

The pictures alone will want to make you try these recipes out. Each recipe is shown in real like you are about to eat it. The recipes are very detailed and it shows extra ingredients if you would like to try them with it. It is very easy to understand and a list of ingredients would be easy to make. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially if you are not a vegetarian and just need some new meal ideas!!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an e-copy of this book for review.

It's hard to judge the quality from an e-book, but the book looks to be clear and well illustrated, including photographs for most recipes. The 1000 meals include several alternatives for most recipes, which I like because it makes it easy to find, adapt and repeat recipes. For me, a recipe book is worth buying if I look through it and would make at least 50% of the recipes in it, and this one easily hits that mark. I also like it because the recipes don't include endless lists of obscure ingredients.

Definitely a worthy addition to the kitchen bookshelf.

Wonderful cookbook for everyone who’s interested in vegetarian and vegan cuisine. The book includes a wide range of recipes from easy peasy beginners recipes to a little more advanced ones; the recipes are based on simple and easy to find ingredients and focus mostly on vegetables.
It also includes a wide range of ethnic food, like Mexican mole or Russian borscht and comes with beautiful pictures .

I’d recommend this book especially to veggie-beginners, since it shows how diverse vegetarian cuisine can be.

Extra bonus points for the index, where recipes are listed after names and ingredients.

This cookbook has a wide range of recipes and good photos. The variations listed with the recipes is especially helpful. Some of the ingredients were unfamiliar and may not be available in rural areas, but kudos for including flavors influenced by a wide range of cultures.

As the title suggests, this cookbook contains SO MANY recipes. Each one has a great format which is easy to follow, a beautiful hand-lettering looking font for the name of the recipe, and good quality photos to accompany each recipe. I actually prefer when cookbooks have this format over the full page picture on page 5 and the recipe on page 12. It really allows you to flip through and then stop when you are interested in a recipe. I would definitely buy this for myself or as a gift.

A treasure trove of recipes for the most delicious vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free meals. My mouth watered as I eagerly paged through, taking in the gorgeous photos and apparent ease of meal prep. With this mighty 1,000-recipe cookbook, I may transform my husband from a man-food snob to a veggie connoisseur. Hallelujah!

Thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Chartwell Books and NetGalley for the ARC, in exchange for my honest opinion.

You cannot go wrong with a thousand vegetarian recipes and it is near impossible to not find an alternative to meat-based meals in this book.
This is a nice book containing a good mix of simple to complicated recipes, from meals to graze on to ones for the whole family. The only downside is the lack of macronutrient information but I suppose you can use the recipes as a starting point.
point.
I haven't counted all of the recipes to ensure there is a thousand but there are so many I am confident it will not matter.
This was provided by NetGalley and the book publisher for an honest review

Although there are hundreds of cookbooks out there with decent recipes for vegan and vegetarian diets, 1000 Vegan and Vegetarian Meals: Everyday Recipes to Make Healthy Eating Easy, by the editors of Chartwell Books stands out as one of the best, due to the fact that it contains not only excellent recipes, but also photographs of almost every dish.

For those of you who aren’t vegetarian or vegan, this book has plenty of great side dishes that can be served with meat, poultry, or fish. And although that isn’t the main purpose of this book, it’s a fact nonetheless. Many of the dishes included will make you forget that you aren’t eating animal products. The recipes are easy-to-follow, and most include ingredients that are easy to find. Ingredients include lots of nuts, dairy and non-dairy cheeses, tofu – of course, and vegetables, fruits, and whole grains – everything healthy.

The salad section of this cookbook is impressive; there is a salad to accompany almost everything. There are also breakfasts, soups (lots of them and they are mouthwatering), “grazing” dishes including dips and fun appetizers, quick dishes, breads, pastas, pizzas, burgers (untraditional, of course and meatless), curries, and comfort foods. There are also some pretty awesome desserts.

One of the best parts about this cookbook is that there are flavors borrowed from every part of the world: Asia, Europe, America, Middle East, etc. Variety is very helpful for those who are trying to keep strict dietary laws, and there are enough different flavors in the recipes that boredom won’t be a problem.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

This book of recipes is divided up into the following chapters:
1. Breakfast & Brunch
2. Super Salads
3. Healthy Soups
4. Grazing Dishes
5. Quick & Tasty
6. Hearty Comfort Food
7. Feed a Crowd
8. Sweet Treats

A bulleted list of things that ran through my head as I skimmed this cookbook:
- I like that the recipe steps are numbered. However, I wish they would do one sentence per number instead of a whole paragraph per step.
- There aren't very many kid-friendly recipes. (As an adult who is fairly picky, I didn't find many recipes I wanted to try.)
- I like that the recipes cover a host of cultures' foods.
- There is more of an emphasis on vegan than vegetarian.
- Oh nice! An index!
