The Student Vegan Cookbook: 85 Incredible Plant-Based Recipes That Are Cheap, Fast, Easy, and Super-Healthy

I’m not being overzealous when I say this may be the best Vegan centric cookbook I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. The way Kaminsky plays with food to create these delicious but budget friendly masterpieces have a literally saved me money and time countlessly. Even if you aren’t a vegan or a student this book is a kitchen essential when it comes to making tasty and impressive meals. I’m not one to gatekeep, But the fact of the matter is, if you can read this book And not lose your mind over the numerous to blend food. Are you even really vegan? Its a NECESSITY people!

This book delivers! Perfect for students and any other "newbie" cooks. Hannah shares loads of basic information and techniques, then walks you through great recipes that use ingredients available at any supermarket. Her photos of each recipe are a plus, too. Most dorms these days have communal kitchen facilities, but all you really need is a small fridge, a hot plate and a microwave oven. Delicious, healthy, economical and easy; what's not to like?

Many cookbooks aimed at students feature the same-old same-old starchy fare. Hannah Kaminsky, a talented writer who does her own fantastic food photography, presents unexpected but still do-able options from soup to dessert that can be made in basic kitchens. And bonus, everything is plant-based. Impress your roommates, suite mates, or dates with these delightful recipes!

I am not a student, however I do enjoy student cookbooks as they are generally filled with very simple & cheap recipes (the subtitle for this cookbook even states that these recipes are cheap, fast, easy, and super healthy). This book has a lot of very tasty sounding recipes, and I love the fact that there are photos for every single recipe as I think that is so important for a cookbook. I even love that there are a couple recipes the author flat out calls ugly (basically a plate of brown food) - she acknowledges that home cooking might not always be pretty but it’s still going to taste good.Unfortunately, I feel that this cookbook is a bit misleading. If you’re a college student living in a dorm I simply don’t see the vast majority of these recipes being feasible; you really need to have your own dedicated kitchen space. In addition, at least half of the recipes I would not classify as “cheap“. There are a lot of spices used, and specialty ingredients such as cassava & almond flours, buckwheat groats, carrot top fronds, sunflower and daikon radish sprouts, etc. So either a poor college student would have to skip quite a few recipes, or drastically alter them. I feel this cookbook would be more appropriate for an older adult cook, not a student, but that’s just my opinion.

I had originally bought a book for my nephew who was starting his first year at college. After looking through it I decided I needed a copy for myself. No regrets! Easy to follow delish recipes.

Great recipes 👌

This book is packed with delish easy recipes and is a must have resource for vegan students everywhere :)

I loved this cover and was excited about there being 85 fast and easy plant based recipes. 8 chapters of yummy! Included is breakfast, dips, spreads, snacks, noodles, soup, sandwich and bowl-in-one meals.There are helpful basic staples “ideas”with a ingredients glossary. I found this part super helpful. It’s a lot to take in when starting this plant based journey and this part is essential. Furthermore are all the kitchen essentials you’ll need and a quick “how to do stuff” intro before starting this and conversion and equivalent tables.Everything looked easy enough and I especially loved the breakfast and soup recipes. I would not only recommend this for college students but also anyone getting into plant based eating. Very helpful. The only thing this doesn’t have is calories per serving which to me isn’t a big of deal. I hope this was helpful.Thanks Harvard Common Press via Netgalley.
