I haven’t been a student for nearly 10 years, but I wanted a vegetarian recipe book which offered simple, quick and affordable meals.
The book has over 200 recipes, split as follows:
– Bring on brekky
– Comfort food
– Roasted and baked
– Made in a flash
– All the carbs
– Salads, sides and snacks
– What’s for afters?
– Bar, drinks and basics
While 200 recipes sounds impressive, it’s disappointing that about half of these seem like fillers to get the number of recipes up. For example, one “recipe” is for orange and rasperry juice. It has three ingredients (oranges, raspberries and water) and two steps (juice and mix the ingredients, and pour into a glass)!
Once you look past the filler recipes, there are some good meals available here. I like that the meals are generally quick to make and use basic ingredients which are easy to buy. My favourite recipe is definitely goat’s cheese and pepper lasagne!
The book is really colourful and well laid out. Most of the recipes have photographs, but it’s a shame that some recipes are missing them.
There are better recipe books available unfortunately, but this is handy if you want simple, quick and affordable meals.

One of the best vegetarian books! Bought this for my grandaughter as she was going to university but after reading the recipes decided to get one for myself not disappointed some very good recipes, clear instructions, save you money as not that many ingredients in some of them, economy and speed of preparation seemed to be the aim and it has been successful! Thanks

I’m not a student, but I want to cook more vegetarian meals for my family, and don’t really know how to get into the habit. Student cookbooks tend to have fairly simple recipes, without expecting you to have lots of time and tons of different ingredients to hand. So I picked this book, and I’m glad I did.
I’m sure I’ll try most of the recipes, which are straightforward and accessible – and look delicious. The book is attractively laid out and most of the recipes are pictured – having bought a couple of disappointingly plain cookbooks recently, it actually makes a big difference as to whether you’ll give the recipes a go (and helps you to tell if you’ve got them right!).
Also worth adding that this is a British book (many sold on Amazon UK are American but don’t say so). So ingredients, terms and measurements will all be familiar to a European reader.

This book is great!! I’m not a student- I’m a busy middle aged single parent with not much time or enthusiasm for spending ages in the kitchen cooking- very basic cooking skills and trying to be healthy, vegetarian and needing to be gluten free – not easy. I bought this and it’s great. My teenage daughter loves the recipes too and has cooked alot of them herself. I adapt them to be gluten free which is easy enough. Cheap and tasty recipes easy for anyone to use.

The book is of very good quality paper. It’s bright, colourful, with a lot of varied, fantastic recipes that are easy and cheap to make, and the instructions are given in metric and imperial, which is a bonus.
My gripe is that all the recipes serve four people. The author presumes that all students live in shared houses and all cook for lots of people.
What about those who don’t? Or who would just like to cook for themselves occasionally?
It would have been a good idea to include some recipes that serve only one person.

Good book, a variety of recipies. Would have been better if there were recipies for one as the majority are for 4 people or so.

Unsure how much flex this binding will have… when I ordered I read spiral binding in description…this definitely doesn’t lay open or flat

I love the range of recipes and tips for student life, also the affordability of each recipe. There’s nothing too challenging even for a novice. But I was disappointed that so many of the recipes serve four (some six or twelve). I want to cook for me, not for the whole landing! Also, there are no calorie counts, something I consider important, if not essential.
