"Good Food": 101 Veggie Dishes

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Vegetarian and Vegan
by: Good Homes Magazine

June 05, 2003
I've been vegetarian for all my adult life and I can honestly say that I have never found a recipe book with as high a hit rate as this one. I've tried loads of the meals and all have been fantasic. What I like most is the combination of really easy to follow recipes, easy to find ingredients and exciting/unusual flavours.

I've bought this book a few times to give as presents once people had tried some of the food at my place. It's a cheap little book and as an added bonus, you have a breakdown of the recipes by carbs, fat and calories, so it's easy to find something to suit your needs.

If you only buy one vegetarian recipe book, buy this one. You really won't be disappointed.

125 Best Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Vegetarian and Vegan
by: Judith Finlayson

September 09, 2004
Almost every slow cooker recipe I've ever made has been tomato-based. Recipe books are full of slow-cook meat recipes and stews, but I was bored already, after just a few months of owning my slow cooker.

So I had high hopes for this recipe book and I have to say it has exceeded my expectations.

Firstly, the recipes actually are vegetarian (many of them are vegan). I say this because other slow cooker recipe books have "vegetarian" sections which are packed with meat stock, chicken soup, fish sauce and bacon in the ingredients!

Secondly, the recipes are easy and they work. Again, despite being pretty experienced in the kitchen, I've had the experience of embarrassing failures with other slow cooker recipe books. ... Read More:

This is one of the best examples of positive thinking in action, the Oprah winfrey angel effect - you are who you most practice to be.

Delia's Vegetarian Collection

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Vegetarian and Vegan
by: Delia Smith

October 17, 2002
Delia knows her cooking, however, she hasn't researched vegetarianism properly. She is using parmesan. All vegetarians know that parmesan is not vegetarian, so she should mention to use the substitute cheese. It is misleading new vegetarians into thinking parmesan is ok. That's why only 2 stars.
If one reads the recipes carefully and alter it accordingly then there are some very nice new ideas in this book..

Rose Elliot's Vegetarian Meals in Minutes

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Vegetarian and Vegan
by: Rose Elliot

January 03, 2005
Just what I was looking for: healthy recipe ideas for packed lunches and light evening meals that don't require too many fancy ingredients or time to put together (the pitta pocket fillers are handy).
I'm not really a dessert person, but the quick, tasty recipes have made me realise I don't have to be baking pastry and doing fiddly toppings for hours.
If you love spending time in the kitchen this book is NOT for you!

January 04, 2007
My Mother in Law gave me this book for christmas as I was interested in the slimming world diet. What a fantastic book, just as it says 30 minute meals that are easy to to cook and taste delicious. As yet nothing has failed us, infact we have even tried recipes that we would not normally try. I have shown this to a few friends and thay love it and have also ordered it.

The Vegetarian Student Cookbook (Hamlyn Cookery)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Vegetarian and Vegan
from: Hamlyn

June 15, 2005
Granted, this book has some nice recipes BUT most of the recipes require LOADS of ingredients, with as many herbs and spices as you can shake £20 at!
(oh and the cheap eats sections is a joke in itself!)
Also, most of the meals are for 4 people and take about 40 minutes to cook, why? student mealtime averages out to be at 2-3am, not family dinner time at all!

Good book, but they need a pinch of common sense and a sprinkle of budget

Keeping Bees and Making Honey

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Vegetarian and Vegan
by: Alison Benjamin, Brian McCallum

May 16, 2008
I bought this book knowing virtually nothing about bees (they exist, they live in hives and they make honey was about the sum total of my knowledge).
I have been considering keeping bees for a while and thought that a little reading would help guide me to a decision.

From memory, the book covers: types of bees (not just honey bees), types of hives, the gear required by the beekeeper, where bee hives can be situated, how bees can be purchased, the maintenance of the colony & hive, pests and how to mitigate their impact, the social structure of the bee colony, the way honey is produced by the bees, the 'swarming' of bees, how to harvest honey from the hive and how to store the harvested honey. There's definitely more - my memory just isn't good enough. ... Read More:
