Good Veg

The Good Veg has categories that are so clear and so organized that one wouldn't have to search long for what they may want to cook next in this recipe book. This felt like a recipe book and an educational book. Being vegetarian for almost two decades, this is the first vegetarian book that I have seen of it's kind. It is very thorough and not only includes the foods but categories that are more user-friendly to find depending on the cooker's budget, time of day, type of meal, quantity of food, and whether they want fresh, cooked, or stored food.

You can sense the passion and love the author had about these recipes as you read the recipes and by far my favorite were those recipes that were quick and those that were thrifty as I cook for many weekly to promote the benefits of vegetarianism worldwide for ones mind, body, spirit, and the environment. This book can allow others to really dig deep and seek the nutrition their body needs while also enjoying a meal that will satisfy everyone in the family and keep them revitalized and clear inside out.. This is a great resource for recipes that are healthy and tasty!

Good Veg is not lying when it says that it is a modern vegetarian cookbook, with global flavors. And it is certainly packed with flavorful recipes sampling from cuisines around the world. The book starts with nut butters and chia jams, and winds all around the world, featuring great flavor combinations and contemporary concepts. Very impressive!

There is a recipe for Squash Bao that looks and sounds so amazing that I am going shopping tomorrow to pick up some winter squash to make it. Smoky Thai-Style Tofu Cakes with Green Pod Salad is another recipe that begs to be made and shared with loved ones.

Corn Tortillas with Avocado and Charred Scallions and the No-Knead Seeded Breakfast Loaf look both delicious and fast and easy. All of the recipes are easy enough to achieve, while still being exciting and surprising.

Beside that there are a bunch of recipes that I am planning to make, I really appreciate the fact that the author is not including animal rennet based cheeses in her recipes. It is majorly irking when reading a vegetarian cookbook and encountering animal rennet based cheeses in the ingredients with no vegetarian options and substitutions. That really makes me loose faith in the cookbook. Brava for author Alice Hart for addressing that issue while offering substitutions.

Highly recommended - this is an exciting, international, fun, vegetarian cookbook, with inspiring recipes that are entirely achievable for the home cook.

Finally a book about vegetables wih a modern, delicious twist. Loved the book. It made me take stock in what my family was eating and plan for more meatless meals. Yummy, fun, flavorful recipes that anyone can enjoy.

The recipes seem do-able and look amazing! I am not a chef or a vegetarian, but I think I could pull these recipes off, be thrilled with the effect and healthier to boot! The expanded explanations for how to prepare the ingredients is very helpful. And there are enough recipes to keep you busy for a year or more!

Squash fritters, pot stickers, squash bao, brown rice bibimbap bowls with smoky peppers....getting hungry? It's always a good feeling when reading a cookbook knowing that everything you make isn't going to be chock-full of meat. That you can just cook until your vegetarian heart's content, knowing that you won't have to analyze the recipe in order to make cruelty-free substitutions. It's a beautiful book with unique and substantial recipes.

If you are tired of the same old vegetable recipes, this is an excellent "widen your repertoire" cookbook. Using easy to find ingredients, this will step up your mealtime game - and this coming from a meat eater!

All I can get out of my mouth right now is YUM, WOW and I'M OFF TO COOK at the top of my lungs, I am not a vegetarian, I love eating meat (sorry animals) but I d0 love this book and it has recipes that are tantalizing and calling me to the kitchen (which is unusual for me).

To start with, I am happy to see a quick and thrifty section in the book which is just as long as the other chapters. It is valuable to have a thrifty section because for some vegetarians budgets are tight, and makes vegetarian cooking for some people much more accessible.

The introduction to each chapter is informative and have some useful facts and shopping suggestions for cost effective and long term freshness of items particularly spices. The book is clean only using a small amount of colour. There are not pictures on every page but are scattered throughout the book. I do prefer more pictures of the actual cooked item as I am more of a visual person and it gives me an indication of whether I am on track with my cooking or not.

Overall it is a lovely book that I am sure many vegetarians will love.

Set up in 9 chapters, Good Veg has something that will appeal to everyone. Whether you are looking for a breakfast recipe, a snack, or something you can eat raw with very little preparation, Good Veg has you covered for any craving. The photography is simple but elegant which showcases the ingredients naturally giving them a rustic feel.

What a beautiful collection of vegetarian recipes! So delicious and gorgeous photographs.

I've never enjoyed vegetables. This book makes me want to eat EVERYTHING! I could cook out of this forever, and never get bored! Thank you!

Delectable recipes and images that made my mouth water at every page turn!
