There is so many healthy burger recipes in this book. I’m vegan but I'm not huge fan of bean burger so I didn’t pay too much attention to those. Its a wide variety of burgers that would be fun for everyone!

The illustration of the book are beautiful! Like you want to eat just looking at them. It also gave me plenty of ideas for new veggie burgers and it included option if you can't eat gluten or eggs for example. The little down side is that there is a lot of text and it's not my favourite part in a cooking book. Otherwise I can't tell you if the recipes are really working because I always do cook my own way. But if you're looking for ideas and inspiration definitely go for it !

Veggie Burgers Every Which Way is a group of recipes for making burgers from beans, grains and vegetables, When the recipes are vegan or gluten free they are marked that way. There are pictures of about half of the burgers and most of them look appetizing.

There is a Table of Contents with page numbers so finding the burger you want to make is easy. The book starts out with a section called Veggie Burger Basics, The information for cooking dried beans and rice are really informative. There are also a few pages used for explaining the different types of beans. There are a couple of pages about making use of left over herbs that I found interesting and helpful. The page on drying herbs is good too.

The section on buns looks interesting but does not work for a gluten free family. The chapter on side salads and fries had some recipes that look really good for salads. My favorite was the The Grilled Summer Salad with Creamy Sunflower Dressing. The recipes for fries looked good too, but I think if you are going to change the way you make burgers why not change what you eat with them.

Veggie Burgers Every Which Way is an updated second edition of the classic veggie burger cookbook by Lukas Volger. Originally published in 2010, this reformat and re-release from The Experiment is due out 6th June 2023. It's 192 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.

This is a very versatile and adaptable cooking guide. The author does a good job of showing how to substitute and arrange ingredients to choose vegan or vegetarian, as well as giving lots of good tips for adapting to make recipes wheat-/gluten-free.

The recipes are arranged thematically by main base ingredient: basics/adaptations, bean/grain burgers, vegetable based burgers, tofu seitan tempeh TVP burgers, buns, sides (salads & fries), and condiments & toppings. Recipes are written with a description, headers including codes for vegan, gluten free, etc, ingredients in a bullet list, and step by step cooking directions.

Ingredient measures are given in imperial (American) measurements with metric measures in parentheses (yay!). Roughly 2/3rds of the recipes are accompanied by color photos. The food is very attractively styled and appetizing.

The author has also included an abbreviated bibliography/resources list, and an index.

Four stars. A good kitchen resource. The condiments chapter alone is full of versatile and tasty make-aheads to enhance more than just burgers.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

This is a wonderful cookbook, I mean what could be better than burgers?! Homemade whole food, plant based burgers that’s what! This is not a vegan/fully plant based cookbook—there are many recipes throughout that are—but there is a section with options for substitutes.

This book is also more than just the burger aspect of the burgers, it includes sides, sauces, and even buns! I will be making quite a few of these recipes in the near future!

Solid book of veggie burgers! Not just burgers, but also sides and recipes for burger buns. Lots of gorgeous pictures, a nice intro explaining what tools you will need, and recipes featuring beans, tofu, vegetables, and tempeh.

A must read if you are looking to expand your vegetable burger repertoire, or are curious about veggie burgers!

Thank you Netgalley and The Experiment the ARC!

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book. I was really excited to read this book because I mostly follow a plant based diet and I am always looking for new recipes especially burgers. I liked that the authors spoke about why eating prepacked highly processed burgers are not good for you even if they are plants. I am also glad the author stressed using cast iron skillets. I think these skillets have made a huge difference in my cooking. There is a good variety of burgers, some made from beans, quinoa, rice and a numerous vegetables. I will be buying this book once it is published!

3 stars for an interesting collection of veggie burger recipes~

This was quite the collection of veggie burger recipes! Admittedly, I can't say I would dare to try the majority of them but I am definitely curious on trying the ones that most closely imitate meat [being pescatarian myself and craving burgers here and there]. I definitely like the aspect of adding in more vegetables into your burgers and this makes it fun and interesting for sure.

Thanks to NetGalley and The Experiment for providing a digital ARC for review!

Amazing book. I remember not so long ago when people would give me the side eye when I would order a veggie burger at a restaurant. Nice to know that now that they are now fairly mainstream and loved by many people. The recipes in this book give some good twists to some well known favorites. There are also enough original recipes which use pantry staples such as quinoa, rice, dried and canned beans. This book is also very timely as grocery prices continue to skyrocket and people are looking more and more to stretch their grocery bills. Really love the original but love this one even more!

Thanks you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

I LOVED this book! I have wanted to get more veggie burger recipes, as I only have one. This book is chock full of information and recipes! It starts with the basics of veggie burger information. Then there are multiple recipes under the bean and grain burgers, vegetable burgers, tofu, seitan, tempeh, and TVP burgers. The book continues with even more recipes for burger buns, salads and fries, condiments and toppings. You can't go wrong with this book. I can't wait to start trying the recipes out. I am gluten-free and the burger buns are all made with wheat. The rest of the book gives me many options to pick and choose from.

I have mixed feelings about veggie burgers. I appreciate that they are becoming more ubiquitous in restaurants and grocery stores. But, I don’t like the current obsession with making them taste more like meat. That type is good for people who are transitioning off meat. However, the longer you are plant-based, the less you tend to want things that don’t highlight the flavor of vegetables.

That is the philosophy of this book.

“… I’ve never been very excited about a veggie burger that tastes like meat. My perspective in this book was, and continues to be, that veggie burgers should be creative expressions of vegetables.

….

In my view, vegetables should be the star player, and veggie burgers can be a vessel for the flavor of carrots, kale, or beets when they’re fresh and delicious, and be presented in a format that’s new and unexpected.”

About half of the burgers in this book are vegan. The rest use egg as a binder but there are instructions in the front of the book for several other types of binders that could be used.

I’m not going to list the recipes that I’m interested in trying because honestly, it is almost all of them. So far I’ve made the Mushroom Barley burger. I had to substitute farro because I couldn’t find barley alone when I went to the store that day. I also made the Black Bean and Butternut Squash burger because you can’t go wrong with that combination.

For such a common vegetarian food, I’ve had a hard time making veggie burgers that taste good in the past. This is a book that I see myself using as a reference for a long time. I got this copy from NetGalley but I imagine that I will buy myself a copy when it comes out.

As I'm eliminating more and more highly processed foods from my diet, this cookbook filled with veggie burger recipes was intriguing. Initially, I was disappointed that only about 1/3 of the recipes are egg- and dairy-free as written. The author does discuss various egg substitutes and some recipes that call for egg do have notes about which substitution works well. Not all recipes can be easily organized however so if that is an issue for you, this cookbook may not be the best choice.

Reviews are divided by the main ingredient such as beans, vegetables, tofu, etc. Recipes that are vegan and/or gluten-free are clearly marked. There is a good mix of burger recipes here.

Thank you to The Experiment and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

"Veggie Burgers Every Which Way" by Lukas Bolger is a great resource for anyone looking to delve into or expand their veggie burger repertoire. With few exceptions, the recipes are achievable and use common ingredients found in most local grocery stores. The book includes sections on condiments and sides and also includes information on how to adapt recipes for those with Gluten or Wheat dietary restrictions. A great addition to your burger recipe collection.

Thank you the NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love this book. My family has been trying to incorporate more veggies into our lives and this book has helped with that a lot. I love the vibrant pictures too. Some of the recipes are more complex and a little more complicated, but I like the variety within this book. The edamame burger was the first we tried and it was great!
I will be buying a copy of this one!

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.

This is a good veggie burger cookbook even though it didn’t work very well for me. It has a nice variety of recipes and they mainly use whole food ingredients. Chapters are broken into bean burgers, veggie burgers, tofu and seitan burgers, etc. There is also a lot of information for those new to making them.

Full page photos are provided for about half the recipes. These photos were very large and saturated on my e-reader, making them kind of too much for me. I much prefer a small, realistic photo on the page with the recipe rather than half the cookbook being taken up with huge day-glo photos. In addition, the photos showed each burger styled and topped with great looking toppings but the directions don’t suggest toppings. With each one you’re left figuring out how they topped the great looking picture and the actual burger is almost hidden in the styling and toppings. Topping recipes and sides are included elsewhere though.

No nutritional information is provided, which is an automatic deduction of a star for me.

Recipes are vegan and vegetarian, denoted by letters. Animal products like cheese and eggs are used in many but he discusses substitutions. Most of the recipes are gluten free but he removed the only gluten free “bun” recipe for this edition, saying you should seek out your local gluten free bakers. Sigh. I’m guessing he’s never had to cook gluten free for 8 on next to no money in a town of 700.

I have been making homemade veggie burgers for many years. I don’t use a recipe as much as a basic formula in my head and they are different every time. It would have been nice for him to go into this as it’s a very easy thing to learn but you can deconstruct these recipes and get the hang of it yourself or just look for a basic formula online. These seem to be tasty recipes and there’s a nice variety.

I read a temporary digital copy of this book via NetGalley.

tons of great burger and slaws even has buns, watch out a lot of the burgers have eggs in the mix. a few nice photos that show detail of the burgers

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I am not vegetarian but would like to try some of these veggie burger recipes as many looked easy to make and tasty.

Fun ideas to try! Everything from the burgers to the sides is in here. Who knew there were so many different ways to make veggie burgers.

Oh, this book will make you hungry. So many different kinds of veggie burgers from lentils and beans to cauliflower and beets. Plus, the photos make everything look amazing. I found myself wanting to make almost every recipe!

My favorites include the Spinach-Chickpea Burgers, Tofu & Chard Burgers, Carrot-Parsnip Burgers with Almonds, and the Tuscan White Bean Burgers. This book also includes homemade bun recipes, as well as sauces and sides. Ideal for Meatless Monday inspiration. Thanks so much to NetGalley for the ARC. This one is definitely where I'll rush out and get the published version.

This is excellent and very thorough, covering everything you need to know to make great food. It has a nice variety of ingredients, and includes bun and salad recipes. Great photography too. Recommended.

I really appreciate the free ARC for review!!
