NOSH Vegetarian NOSH for Students: a fun student cookbook
£9.50
This is the 4th edition of Vegetarian NOSH for Students. Originally a sequel to a book inspired by the author’s son, Ben, leaving for university, who was clueless in the kitchen. Toasted sandwiches and Mars Bars were his staple diet, but these didn’t serve him too well! What was needed to encourage him to cook was an easily attainable taste of home, oh, and pictures with every recipe! Nosh for Students was born. Since then, Joy has helped over 500,000 students get cooking with her straightforward and simple approach. Joy helps to take the chore out of cooking, giving students a taste of success and making the experience so much fun. Voted Best Overall Winner of vegetarian student cookbooks by student-testers at The Vegetarian Society.

Both my daughters are vegetarian I bought this for them to have a Uni. The surprise was that we have the exact same mug as the one pictured in the book with equally fond memories!

I bought this for my daughter to take to uni. We tried out a few recipes and when she left I had to buy my own copy! This is the best vegetarian cookbook for busy people that I have! Husband and son not veggie but this is perfect for me as I batch cook a lot of my food. Great tasty recipes, super helpful for both students and parents of students who are cooking in a budget because they’re finding their kids education!

I can see this book being useful for some people however I feel like it is a little basic and even patronising for most. I bought this book with the idea it was full of recipes for budget cooking however the actual quality of these recipes is varied.
However, the images are good and recipes are easy to follow

As I’ve said on another review, I own four of the ‘Nosh’ books but this one has to be my favourite and I cannot say enough nice things about it. While I’m not a vegetarian, in the last few years I’ve been experimenting much more with vegetarian cooking as a way of saving money (when did meat become so expensive??) and eating more healthily. I also find many vegetarian recipes to be more ‘interesting’ with a wider range of ingredients and flavours than non-vegetarian meals. For that reason, I’d say I prefer this book to ‘Nosh for Students’ but perhaps that’s just me.
I have been absolutely delighted with this book and cook from it almost every week for my husband and me. I have also prepared a number of the recipes for friends and family, including the sweet potato tagine, the nutty crumble, the nut and courgette slice, several of the soups and a number of the risottos (a big shout out also for my favourite recipe in the book: khitcherie! A complete revelation! I’ve made it countless times, including for family, and it’s so deliciously moreish that I have been known to polish off enough for about three people!) It has beautiful colour photos throughout and the instructions are clear and helpful.
I have also found the sauces section to be very useful (the peanut sauce works very well in stir-fries or satay) along with the suggestions for salad dressings and sandwich fillings.
As other reviews have said, this is definitely not just a book for students but for anyone looking for quick, easy to prepare dishes for everyday cooking that don’t cost the earth.

Oh, where do I start? I adore this book . When I became vegetarian I was totally overwhelmed with not knowing what I could eat other than lettuce and cabbage pretty much. This book has taught me so very much. The Gardeners Pie is to die for and I think I must have tried at least 3/4 of the recipes along with my husband ( a hardened meat eater) and we both love them.
If you are worried and just don’t know where to turn buy this book . Honestly, I now have 14 veggie cookbooks and every single time I come back to this one. It’s like an old friend now.
It’s simple, good, honest food

Well what can I say about this book, it’s the 3rd Nosh book we have purchased in recent years. We purchased the original student cookery book six months before sending our first child off to uni, I wanted to make sure she had the basics prior to standing on her own two feet. We loved the book so much we ended up buying a second after she left.
A few years on we have transitioned to eating more plant based foods. My son who was off to uni this September requested the book, I was surprised as he has decent cooking skills. He tells me that his flat mates have been very impressed with his creations. On our weekly phone calls tells me how pleased he is with himself on his menu planning and how much his weekly shopping cost.
Well done Nosh, a great addition to the Nosh cookery book family ????

The media could not be loaded.
Decent quality book. Useful ‘how to cook…”sections at the start, also store cupboard and equipment lists. Photos for every recipe. Easy for my daughter to understand step by step instructions and no weighing required. Great idea! QR codes for more content but I haven’t tried them out. Each recipe has a cost per person and an ease of cooking star rating. Some recipes are a bit basic though, for instance ‘fruity rice’ – I thought would actually be a recipe for home made rice pudding plus fruit. However, the recipe requires you to buy a tin of rice pudding add half a packet of frozen fruit +1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and that’s it. Perhaps a little too simplistic! Not sure where the author shops though as not convinced the shopping list cost totals at the back are strictly accurate. Overall I’m pleased with the purchase and I’m sure my daughter will get lots of ideas from it when she goes to uni.

Ordered the excellent standard Nosh for Students for my cousin’s birthday present, and came across the veggie one whilst browsing, so added it to the order. I’m not a student, but I’m a busy working gal who lives on her own, and I’m always on the lookout for new veggie recipe ideas, and this book is fantastic. Thank you Joy and the May family for writing something so simple to follow, with easy, healthy recipes that offer new ideas and fresh takes on classics for us non-meat eaters, with gluten-free options too. As an added bonus, the size of the book, and the measure-everything-with-a-mug concept means it’s really useful for travel to self-catering accommodation too. I really like the menu planners and shopping lists, which if followed means you only spend about £15 -20 a week on food – perfect for keeping costs down. I’m going to order a few more copies for veggie friends and family!
