There’s a lot of great recipes in here, but I don’t think a lot of these recipes are feasible for students. I was expecting glammed-up dorm-room hot-plate cooking, but there are a lot of ingredients I think would be hard for the average college student to access/store. The recipes are really good, though. Everything I tried was delicious, the pictures are gorgeous and the recipes would be easy for the average chef to recreate. I’d definitely recommend this cookbook, just with the caveat that it may not be exactly what the blurb promises.

I’m grateful to Quarto Publishing Group/Harvard Common Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review The Student Vegan Cookbook.

Some amazing recipes in here - especially some easy realistic ones made in a microwave.
It's an ideal present now that students are off to university and are slowly learning how to cook.
I like that it's a good mix of basic recipes everyone should know as well as more fun ideas, snacks and even things to wrap up as a present to give a friend.
The pictures definitely make you want to start cooking.

Well done beginngers Cookbooks not just for vegans but generally for students that need some quick and easy ideas.
Its nothing for anyone that already knows a lot on how to cook and have simple ideas. But its great for everyone that wants to learn or get better and cooking and/or cooking for one person.

This is the perfect gift for the vegan student in your life as they head off to uni or college. It is the perfect for the beginner as it has also the intro information you would need such as in relation to the terminology and equipment required. Following this there is a wealth of recipes for all meals, tastes and dietary requirements.

The Student Vegan Cookbook by Hannah Kaminsky is a fun and upbeat recipe book that will inspire anyone to try vegan cooking. The book has lots of useful information and many different recipes. It is perfect for anyone wanting to eat healthy on a budget.

I am not vegan or a student, but I really appreciate any book that will save me time and give healthy options for meals. This cookbook is perfect for anyone new to veganism and cooking. Also, the ingredients are ones that are easy to find and inexpensive.

❀ EXTENSIVE INGREDIENT GLOSSARY

The book has an extensive ingredient glossary and a great list of kitchen tools to have on hand. The recipes are easy to follow with lots of great images to accompany each one. Many of the recipes are fun and interesting so they will definitely appeal to college students.

Cookbooks aimed at college students are great if you are looking for simple recipes with accessible ingredients. Definitely recipes I'm eager to try for myself.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* wouldn't make all the recipes in here but there were a fair few that looked good still and id like to try lol

We loved this in our home. Everyone was able to select recipes from it and could effortlessly create delicious, nutritious and simply prepared meals. I’d highly recommend this for vegans who are looking for inspiration as well as those just looking for a healthier lifestyle

This book is quite interesting for someone that is trying to look into eating vegan or for someone that is trying to incorporate a meatless Monday into their diet. There are breakfast, dips, salads, noodles, etc, with all of them including a picture (which I love!). The book also has a recipe for green curry and yellow curry, the later one which I am looking forward to try. All in all, this book should not be expected to be your full source of vegan recipes, but it does make a fun addition to the cookbook library.

Great cookbook, with recipes that are easy to add to a rotatable menu plan. This is definitely one I'd recommend - mostly accessible ingredients, affordable, and with pictures - that's what I want in a cookbook! Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Being fairly new (3 years) vegan myself, I'm always looking for tasty yet manageable recipes to prepare. This book succeeds in sharing such recipes with much of its content.

It begins with a lengthy introduction containing pantry staples, common vegan ingredients, and essential cooking utensils. If you are new to vegan cooking, this section is essential; otherwise, it can safely be bypassed. The introduction closes with a variety of "how-to" instructions (e.g., how to bake a potato) and a very helpful conversions and equivalents page.

Once you arrive at the recipes, you won't be disappointed. Predictably, the breakfast chapter is first and contains a variety of sweet and even a few savoury choices, which are often hard to find in the world of vegan breakfasts. The Freaky Good French Toast looks particularly intriguing; I am anxious to give it a try. The book continues with chapters on dips, snacks, sides, and main dishes, which are organized by chapter into types (e.g., pastas, soups).

Overall, The Student Vegan Cookbook consists of a good variety of vegan recipes. Many recipes are inspired by popular ethnic dishes, while others are plant-based takes on North American favourites. There truly is something for everyone! As for sending your college-bound student off with this cookbook, I think some of the recipes are rather ambitious for a beginning cook and may be difficult to create successfully without the proper tools, such as a high-speed blender. However, a young chef who creates these tasty recipes just might inspire fellow students to take up vegan cooking as well!

Thank you to the publisher for supplying me with an ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

My son turned vegan 18 months ago and we have struggled to find a decent cookbook that just contained vegan recipes. He goes to university next month so when I saw this title I was immediately drawn to it.
He has cooked half a dozen recipes from here so far and each one has turned out well. He found the instructions clear but not Patronising.

We would both really recommend this book as an ideal present if you know anybody who is vegan or vegetarian and starting university this year.

Let me start out by saying, I am not a vegan. I do try to incorporate meatless meals into my family’s diet. Also my kids have friends that are vegan. This cookbook has a lot of positives.

1- The author includes helpful notes with a lot of the recipes. Terrific for people just learning to cook.
2- The pictures, with all the recipes, are gorgeous (well the guacamole isn’t a stunner but the author acknowledges that. It’s a taster not a looker)
3- The recipes are not complicated.
4- The book is playful and not intimidating at all.

My only negative is for this being a student cookbook, the ingredients may not be easily accessible.

Not quite what I'd expected or hoped for this book if I am totally honest.

As it's aimed at students (who traditionally are on a very limited budget), I had expected the majority of the content to have more every-day ingredients rather than what I would think are more premium ingredients like chia seeds and miso paste.

It has good explanations and clear directions to make each item, but almost everything contains nuts of some sort. With allergies becomming more and more common (particularly with those following a vegan diet), I found it really disappointing that so many things had a base of nuts or seeds.

As a vegan for 50 years I was curious about this cookbook. It did not disappoint. The recipes are simple, ingredients accessible and budget friendly. This is the perfect cookbook for anyone embarking on the vegan journey not just students. Going vegan can be complicated for some people and this book helps make the transition easier with great recipes that are simple and nutritious.

Just finished this book, a refreshing reminder of the basics of vegan cooking, from common ingredient and uses, common tools and steps used, and a great review of recipes for new and experienced vegans to reflect on! I appreciate all the recommendations and alternative thoughts that are sprinkled throughout.

The book also focuses a bit at the beginning regarding steps of preparing vegan food while a college student. This is very apparent up front, seems forgotten towards the middle and end. I don't think this detracts from the read, as I am more interested in the vegan discussion and recipes. However, if the sole intent was to focus on students or these with liked cooking space, I believe this could have been more incorporated into the recipes and the discussions with each.

Thank you Net Galley for my free copy. The comments above are my own without influence.

Another vegan cookbook, this time The Student Vegan Cookbook by blogger Hannah Kaminsky with its budget conscious focus. With a colourful layout, photos of each recipe and tasty student lifestyle meals, including rushed breakfasts, handy lunches, quick dinners or even late-night snacks, it provides for good nutritional balance and the standard student basics of noodles and smoothies. It is also conscious of small kitchens and has one pan and one bowl meals. This cookbook is a handy investment, especially for all students whether health conscious, environmentally concerned or even just wanting alternative meal choices. A most useful aid for students with its five-star rating. With much thanks to Harvard Common Press and the author for an uncorrected proof copy for review purposes.

Quick disclaimer: I am not a vegan (yet!) but that doesn’t mean I am not tempted, especially after perusing this beautifully compiled book. With stunning photos of bright, colorful, mouthwatering delicious foods, this book offers an approachable way to adopt healthy vegan recipes into one’s life.

I’m always a little skeptical when I see cookbooks. Am I going to be able to complete the recipes successfully? Will I actually use the ingredients more than just for the recipes? Luckily, this book offers me a resounding yes and offers helpful tips and suggestions throughout. So not only can I enjoy these scrumptious foods but I can also boost my cooking skills. Sounds like a win to me!

Very handy cookbook with great recipes! I am not fully vegan but I decided to incorporate more vegan food in my week and to only have meat once a week. I needed recipes that were easy to make and not too expensive and this book is exactly that. Would recommend!

This book offers up 85 plant based recipes with the vegan student in mind, covering breakfasts, dips and spreads, snacks, side dishes, noodles, sounds, main meals and more.

The recipes in this book call for quite a wide array of ingredients which I’m not convinced are entirely budget-friendly, but even in an era of increased plant-based choice, this does seem to be one of the key disadvantages of the vegan diet. There is at least an index at the back of the book listing all of the recipes that feature each ingredient.

My student days are long behind me, but I’m always on the lookout for cookbooks geared towards the somewhat more reluctant and inexperienced cook (i.e. me) and this meets that brief nicely. The recipes are all clearly written with plenty of hints and tips throughout around timings, etc, and each requires only a limited amount of kitchen equipment to prepare. I also liked that each page includes a photograph of the desired outcome! There is also a really useful glossary of the more unusual ingredients found within the recipes.

Recommended for anyone, not only students, wanting an entry point into plant-based cooking.
