I usually read only vegan cookbooks at this point in my life and I’ve decided I’m going to read only 100% vegan cookbooks from now on. I really struggled with this vegetarian cookbook even though every recipe has a vegan option. I didn’t think it would bother me but it did, since dairy and eggs aren’t green or good for the planet and also I have no interest in consuming them. There were good messages about eating for the environment but with so many of the recipes having dairy and eggs as the main choice or as options the messages rang insincere to me. Even though I had no interest in many of the recipes this is such a useful and attractive cookbook so that if it had been a 100% vegan cookbook I would have given it 5 stars. It is a great cookbook though for vegetarians and omnivores and vegans too. The author gives so many great tips. There are so many ideas provided, multiple ways to use individual vegetables, for example, but so many ideas and so much information including pretty good nutritional information. My favorite part of the book was its emphasis on reducing/eliminating food waste. Examples of how to do this are provided throughout the book. There were only a few recipes I felt enthusiastic about trying as is but there were many others I also found interesting since I could substitute for the ingredients I don’t like/like to use, such as vinegar and coconut, and capers. If all the recipes had been vegan and I hadn’t had to look at eggs, dairy cheeses & yogurts on the recipes’ pages I probably would have found even more to note. Just a few recipes I’d love to try/eat as is are Cauliflower & ginger soup with maple spiced cashews, Ancho chili & peanut mole, Lime & double ginger soba noodles, Quinoa, lime & jalapeño pilaf, and the Perfect charred peppers.

She cooks from cookbooks more than any other cookbook reviewer that I know and she loves this cookbook: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5275757921 no reviews | add a review

Really useful sections on what to do with random leftovers, and a super helpful section of 10 recipes for a bunch of vegetables you probably have hanging about.
If you don't already eat seasonally/ think a lot about food sustainability there is a lot to be had from this book, and for the rest it is full of delicious inspiration. ( )
