This is terrific, unique cookbook on vegetables. The recipes are easy and flavorful. The pictures are great. Some ingredients may be difficult to find in smaller towns but substitutions can be made.

Lots of fantastic sounding/looking recipes for making vegetables the star of your meal!

There are a lot of great tips and tricks peppered throughout the recipes. I like that they are catagorized and easy to follow. There isn't a lot of strange ingredients that would necessitate a shopping trip before trying one of the recipes. I always want more photos in a cookbook, but the ones that are included are wonderful!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for a temporary, digital ARC in return for my review.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this ARC. First time reading cooking book and this book gave me nice experience. I enjoyed it very much. This book offers mouthwatering vegetable recipes. Would love to try the halal versions, though.

Nicely divided into different types of vegetable with clear instructions and substitution options provided with every recipe. Pictures also look appetising. Recipes are at times a little overly complex, with lots of ingredients and often long prep times.

I love vegetables, but it can be daunting to think of different ways to prepare and cook them. This book comes in handy, especially as I try different veggie recipes for the kids. I'm looking forward to trying some of the recipes in this book and I definitely think it's worth purchasing for your cookbook collection!

A colourful and varied cookbook centring vegetables in each recipe. Chapters are broken down into vegetable type with good introductions, thorough instructions, and with beautiful pictures. There was a good selection of recipes and I particularly liked the ‘hard to love’ vegetable chapter which included great recipes on those tricker to cook with vegetables and the end chapter which included great dressing/sauce recipes. I would definitely recommend for any vegetable lover who is already a good cook.

Thanks to Netgally and White Lion Publishing for this advance reader copy of this cookbook!

"These pale roots and tubers are too often relegated to side dished and supporting acts, so I'm surprised that our deep love for them hasn't elevated their status to hero on the plate."

It's no coincidence I picked a quote from the chapter about potatoes – I've been on the lookout for a recipe involving sweet potatoes and decided this arc would have just the thing I'm looking for. And I was not wrong. "Love vegetables" is a great look for inspiration if you've got those greens in your fridge that you need last-minute ideas to use up, or if you're just looking to add more veggies into your diet.

Firstly, a very common appreciation I have for cookbooks that get it right. Covering different measurements! No need to convert ounces to grams or Fahrenheit to Celsius. All measurements are clear as day no matter which system you're using.

Extra points for an interesting choice of categorising the recipes. What I've typically seen with veggie-based cookbooks is going seasonal. However, given that seasons vary across the board, Shepherd has made the reasonable choice to group vegetables by their type. Looking for tender greens? Got it. Craving some of that acidity of tomatoes? Sorted.

Each recipe also has little tips to tweak things to your taste, giving you flexibility to make things the way you prefer. "Love vegetables" is worth keeping on your shelf for when you're craving more greens (or starches. Us potato lovers must stick together);

I love vegetable forward cookbooks that are organized by ingredients as it makes it easy to find a recipe for what I have lying around. This photos in this book are absolutely stunning and showcase veggies in a way that elevates them way past boring side dish status. As someone with a fairly modern but simple pantry I thought the recipes and ingredients looked accessible for the average cook.

Yet another great addition to the vegetable cookbook genre. Great recipes that are easy to follow and very inventive. This is a solid addition to any cooks bookshelf.

Love Vegetables: Delicious Recipes for Vibrant Meals is a cookbook perfect for anybody trying to eat more veggies. While it’s not a vegan or vegetarian cookbook, most recipes can be easily adapted. I like the way the book is organized into categories by vegetables: Alliums, Hardy Greens, Tender Greens, Potatoes & Creamy Roots and so on. As spring is upon us and I’m eagerly awaiting fresh greens from my local farm share, I may try the Lemony Garlic Greens with Chickpeas or the 10-Minute Pea and Tahini Soup with Charred Lemon Salsa. This cookbook is filled with beautiful photographs and “puts vegetables at the heart of every recipe.”

This book contained so many great recipes! It really inspired me to look at new vegetables that are coming into season with fresh eyes and a new perspective. During a time when many of us are trying to eat more veggies, I think that books like this will do really well. Thank you for access to this ARC, I really enjoyed it!

Love vegetables? Yes I do. I eat a whole food plant based diet and I thought this cookbook would be leaning that way but it’s not. There is a lot of butter, cheese, and oil used in the recipes as well as ready made things like phyllo, pie crusts, shortcrust etc. so just know that if you lean towards a whole food diet you will have to make many adjustments. That being said, there are quite a few gems included here. The layout is nice and the photography worked well. I did gather quite a few new flavor ideas and am excited to explore more combinations.

Love Vegetables: Delicious Recipes for Vibrant Meals by Anna Shepherd is an exploration of different vegetables and how to use them in a variety of recipes and dishes.

Love, Vegetables: Delicious Recipes for Vibrant Meals” by Anna Shepherd celebrates the humble vegetable in the most delightful way possible. This cookbook beautifully showcases how versatile and flavorful vegetables can truly be.

Author Anna Shepherd’s approach to cooking with vegetables is incredibly inspiring.

With each turn of the page, you’ll find yourself immersed in stunning photos and detailed descriptions of various vegetable types.

For me, what sets “Love, Vegetables” apart is its focus on making vegetables the star of every meal. The recipes are not only mouthwatering but also easy to follow.
I was particularly impressed by how Shepherd effortlessly demonstrates the ease and reward of cooking with vegetables.

Overall, “Love, Vegetables” is a must-have addition to any kitchen. Its exquisite recipes, stunning visuals, and practical advice make it a true gem for anyone.
. I for one, can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy and start experimenting in the kitchen!

Thankyou to author Anna Shepherd, White Lion Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to devour this book!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Love vegetables is a great cookbook that incorporates ways to spice up your vegetables for both omnivores and vegetarians alike. Love vegetables is broken up into nine categories of Alliums, hardy greens, tender greens, potatoes & creamy roots, tougher to love roots, tomatoes & peppers, sunny vegetables, extra savoury vegetables, and liveners. The recipes in this book look absolutely delicious. The recipes are easy to follow and mostly serve to 2-6 people making it nice for a family or small gathering.

This is an excellent cook book! I cannot wait to try out some of these recipes. They seem easy and not intimidating at all! Also delicious.,

I liked the focus on vegetables, especially the green vegetables giving them a twist to make them more unusual. However, from the title I inferred that it was a vegetarian cookbook which it is not. Oftentimes the receipes include dairy products or eggs, so I wouldn't recommend this cookbook to vegans.

I also was sometimes confused if the receipe is intended as a main or a side dish since the recipe often didn't state it. And the pictures, while beautiful, often showed quite small portion sizes which made me think a lot of the receipes are intended as side dishes.

Thanks to Netgally and White Lion Publishing for this advance reader ecopy of the book.

Love Vegetables by Anna Shephard is a beautiful cookbook. The author shares her recipes for a variety of vegetables, but isn’t pushing a particular diet, such as vegetarian and veganism. Love Vegetables is for the home cook who wishes to “celebrate” the vegetable by making it the center of each dish. The photos are colorful and appealing. And the recipes are scrumptious with accessible ingredients. I highly recommend this cookbook for those who want to add more vegetables to their diets.

This is a beautiful cookbook! I love how the recipes are separated into culinary uses, such as alliums, leafy greens, tomatoes, etc. The photographs for each recipe are gorgeous and lively. This is not a vegetarian or vegan cookbook; some of the recipes feature things like Parmesan or anchovies. This is perfect for me, as I am not a vegetarian, but like many others I am interested in incorporating more vegetables into my diet rather than focusing on meat as a main. I love that each recipe includes a variation at the bottom to cut down on food costs.
As a gardener, this is a cookbook that makes me excited for spring! I cannot wait to test the recipes inside.
