Had I not seen this book in a local bookstore in Launceston, I wouldn't have even considered it because of the title and the connotations of 'student food'.
I'm pleased I did see it, because this book is a real gem, filled with interesting and flavour-packed recipes. So the publisher may well be limiting itself with the title, becasue the book is a definite asset to the library of vegetarians of any age and life stage.
Orange Vegetable and Spring Onion pilau, Braised Fennel With Polena, Quick Mexican Mole, Pumpkin and Feta Prcels, Couscous With Roast Squash, Halloumi, Dates and Pistachios, have all been delicious and quite easy to prepare. There are great recipes for omelets, frittatas, pizzas, risottos, grain dishes and pasta dishes, among others.
Beautiful photographs accompany most recipes, which a number of high-prodile food writers have contributed,among them Ross Dobson, Celia Brooks Brown, Ursula Ferrigno, and Nicola Graimes. Yes, some of the recipes appear in other books I have, but the majority are new.And what really pleases me if the absence of meat substitutes.
This is shaping up to be one of the handful of recipe books in a collection of probably 200 that I will turn to regularly.

It is a shame that this publication is riddled with non vegetarian ingredients. The author would do well do check out the Vegetarian Society website for the definition of vegetarian before misusing the word. A real shame because the principle behind this book is good.

My eldest son is a vegetarian and when he comes home from university we tend to switch over to veggie food to accommodate him. However, of late, I have been getting in a real rut with cooking veggie based meals and we seem to cycle between the same few dishes.
I bought this book to give to him when he went back to uni in his second year and needed to cook his own food. We spent the summer going through it so I could teach him to cook - the only problem was that this book was so useful that I ended up 'forgetting' to give it to him to take back with him. I will buy another copy very soon so he can also have one.
The book is beautifully illustrated with bright and vibrant photographs of many of the meals (not all of them). The ingredients required for recipes are easy to find listed in the margins. The instructions for the recipes are clear, straightforward and easy to follow.
There is a wide selection of different ideas which really inspire you to try something different - my favourite is the mustardy mushroom stroganoff. The meals are for the most part very tasty and hearty and even if you have dedicated meat eaters in your family there is bound to be plenty in here that even they will eat.
Pros:
* Ingredient lists are easy to find and follow
* No exotic ingredients used - everything can easily be found in a supermarket
* Recipe instructions easy to follow
* Recipes work first time, every time
* Each recipe indicates how many it will serve
* Many recipes can be made in under 20 minutes - they are indicated by a Q symbol
* Well illustrated with photographs of the dishes
* Tasty, substantial meals
* Meals are relatively inexpensive - useful for students (or anyone) on a budget
Cons:
* Not every recipe has a photograph
* Meat eaters might find they enjoy vegetarian food!

Not just for students!
I bought this book as I find it very hard to come up with interesting vegetarian meal options. This was very helpful. I particularly like the risotto recipes!
