Vegans do not eat animal (meat) or animal-derived items such as meat, fish, eggs, cheese, milk, and honey. I have replaced eggs before with vegetarian (brown and white colored eggs) or even egg substitute in my teens (which I prefer veggie eggs). I have tried soy cheese, goat cheese in place of regular cheeses. I have also ate Boca and other veggie meats; fake meat is what meat eaters call it. However, how do you replace honey (since I use this in place of sugar)? Agave nectar, but as pricey as...more
As an almost constantly broke student, this book has been a lifesaver. The recipes don't require many ingredients, but still have lots of flavor. They are also perfect for someone short on funds, and are easy to prepare. My only quibble is that the book uses quite a few meat substitutes, such as tofu and TVP (which I don't like to eat very much of). However, there are some fantastic vegetable-only dishes. It's also geared towards beginner cooks but as someone who hasn't really cooked much before...more
Normally I wouldn't add a cookbook-but this one is a pure miracle! Honestly-whether you're vegan or not- you need to look through this book. Its got fantastic reipes, made from simple indgredients-and its just so basic and delicious. Its a must for anyone wanting to eat healthier for less money!
This is the first vegan cook book I owned. The black bean burger recipe is good and the energy orb recipe is delicious. I like the fact that she keeps the ingredients lists pretty basic and economical which is what a college student would need.
This tiny volume is packed with effortless fresh ideas that quickly get you past all your potential issues with vegan cooking. Myself, I haven't been a student for over 20 years and can't remember how I first came across this slim gem of a cookbook, but I have never once made a disappointing meal from it and even feeding people that don't believe they've had dinner unless a giant wad of flesh has made the scene. So, in many ways, this one is poorly titled. Student or no, if you want to dip in to...more
My favorite meals of all time came from this book! If you are interested in becoming vegan or vegetarian and love to cook (and cook quickly), consider buying this book!
Some nice recipes that seem easy. I have yet to try one out, but it looks promising. I like how the book explains things, such as how much vitamins people require, etc.

This cookbook is hit or miss. Some recipes are great (such as the black bean burgers) and others are really awful (do not try the mac & cheeze!).
This is a great little book. As the title says, the recipes are quick, easy and cheap (have you ever looked at 'quick" cook books only to realize that you and the author have different interpretations of the word?)I've tried several of the recipes with success. (I particularly love the Avocado and White Bean Burritos - easy and delicious!) I also sometimes use the recipes for ideas without following them to the letter. They are quite adaptable like that. I'd really recommend this one for anyone...more
i LOVED the pumpkin cranberry scones. eat eat eat
This is not gourmet, not even close, but I appreciate this little book because I am often only cooking for myself, and all of the recipes are 1 or 2 servings. Many of the recipes are simple and allow me to use up what a have around.
That said, it's a little hit or miss as far as which recipes will turn out well. They tend to require a bit of tweaking, especially with cooking times. Some of them are not worth tweaking at all! But still a book worth having around if you're single and want some eas...more

This is a nice little book for college aged vegans or vegetarians. Unfortunately, some of the recipes are a little inconvenient, like the spring rolls or black bean burgers...what I mean by inconvenient is-the recipes mostly involve too many ingredients and too much preparation time for a cookbook that claims to be simple. Other than that, it DOES have some tasty recipes...and those spring rolls are divine if you can handle the messy preparation.
I think this is a good springboard cookbook. While vegan, a lot of the recipes seemed pretty unhealthy in terms of the other ingredients--there isn't much attention to fat content, for instance. I think this book is best used for ideas, not necessarily as a cooking bible.
With that said, I like both the simplicity of the recipes and of the ingredients--none are very expensive in terms of time or money.

Not bad. There were a few decent recipes. However, vegan or not, student's don't cook. It requires money and grocery shopping. Until some university creates a meal plan where you can flex basil and tofu at Super Fresh, it's not going to happen. As a cook book in general it's decent. No idea why they felt the need to gear it towards students though.
This vegan cookbook is ok, but you will probably have to spice some of these recipes up a bit. While easy, I found a number of them bland. You can find other just as easy recipes in other cookbooks. The only one I have made more than once is the Edamame Stir-Fry (which I do recommend). I only turn to this book when I am really low on ideas.

I'm not sure if it was the book's format or the recipes themselves, but I just feel blah about this book. I didn't find a single recipe that I had just had to try.
A lovely book, all recipes are really easy and thus very student friendly, not only money-wise.
It also includes a lot of basic cooking information.

Made a whopping TWO recipes from this book which is exactly two more recipes I've made from a cookbook, ever.
Good intro to vegan meals. Easy recipes. Non-scary.
It would have scored higher if there were photos!
