BOSH! Healthy Vegan

Great recipes, lots of variety, easy to follow Also pleased that calorie count is shown on each one.

This book has a great layout, with the ingredients, instructions and descriptions all very distinct and easy to distinguish. Virtually every recipe, apart from the most simple ones, has a photograph, occasionally even stretching to two pages. In some books it can seem that there are too many photographs just to fill space, but this one seems to have the balance just about right. I have bought a number of vegetarian/vegan and healthy eating cookbooks over the years and I appreciate that it must be difficult to come up with 140 interesting and unusual recipes. Therefore you can get some ultra simple 'filler' recipes which are available everywhere. This book has some of these, but not too many and there are enough creative recipes to certainly make the book worthwhile. I certainly hadn't ever seen or considered making a mezze cake for example. This recipe is available online as a video, like some of the others apparently, which is a nice touch but might put people off buying the book. From my personal point of view, I'm not sure why there is a small chapter on cocktails and as someone who does not like mushrooms at all, a lot of recipes do feature them. That's just my personal preference, particularly as non-cocktail drinker and mushroom avoider, but I'm sure some people will appreciate those things more than me. This book is certainly more impressive than a lot of other similar ones I've come across in the past, so I would suggest that most people could learn some interesting new recipes by buying it. You can look inside the book and see some of these details, but for completeness the contents page looks like this: Welcome 7 This book 10 Your kitchen 12 Fantastic feasts 16 Quick eats 20 Big eats 54 Showpieces 88 Greens & Bosh!

Some great recipes!

Good condition. Great value. Lots of great recipes. Inspiring.

This book is amazing!! I've now bought the other 2 BOSH! cookbooks! I have been vegetarian for a year now and was still eating rice and pasta based dishes that were frankly awful. I really wanted to get excited about food again as I did when i was a meat eater. I could cook up a storm with any old dusty ingredients but with vegetarian dishes i was totally lost and really lusted for that passion again. I found this randomly and thought I'd give it a go. Boy was I glad I'd bought it. I have literally transformed my pantry and store cupboards and now my life is exciting again! I am excited to try new foods and it's not as expensive or as difficult as you may think. You're asked to buy ingredients you probably think you'll only use once but they're used throughout the book so you avoid wasting money on one of ingredients. I prefer to buy a bulk of new things every time I shop to build up my pantry and 8 weeks later it's complete!! I would recommend this to any seasoned veggie right over to the novice! The recipes are simple and really well explained. Better than any cookbook I've ever used! You are prepped well and guided through the method with simple easy to follow instructions. No 1920s jargon or complicated processes just simple delicious vegan recipes!! Give it a go! What have you got to lose?

I have tried almost every recipe in this book and trust me the recipes are TASTY!!! I do not normally follow a cook book but, purchasing this book was the door opening for me buying more. I also seen my wieght drop and felt great results internally! Very happy and satisfied customer!

I'm not vegan, but I stopped eating meat this year and I'm making a conscious effort to cut down my dairy intake as well. As someone whose repertoire of recipes includes primarily meaty dishes, this decision left me wondering how I can prepare tasty food without resorting to expensive meat-free replacements like Quorn all the time. After a few months of eating a lot of stir-fry, I discovered this book. What a game-changer! On flicking through the recipes in the book, my husband and I agreed that there was almost nothing in there we didn't want to try. Over the weekend, I made a Bosh bowl using whatever we had in the fridge (the easiest and tastiest thing ever, unbelievably simple and balanced!), the chocolate croissant tearer sharer - possibly the most indulgent breakfast I've ever made and SO easy - and what I can only describe as the best spaghetti bolognese I've ever had. I admit that I strayed a little off piste with the spag bol recipe ( I added some chilli and more herbs and a sprinkling of parmesan at the end) but all in all, I was blown away by how minced mushrooms could replace mined meat and taste so good! My carnivore husband was amazed too, and has already requested a repeat performance. I can't wait to try more recipes. The book also helped me to understand how to balance proteins within a diet that is predominantly plant-based, which I was unsure of before. All in all, you can't go wrong with this book, even if you're usually a meat-eater. The only gripe is that sometimes the recipes aren't that clear, because they're written in such a simple way - but there's a great YouTube channel that has 3-min video representations of the recipes, so that's helpful if you're stuck.

Big fan of Bosh! so was pleased to get the digital version of this book on special. It started really well, some really good health advice without being preachy or pretending that following a vegan diet means you're a health guru or running marathons every other day. Really practical and straightforward, good tips, workable in the real world. Then I read the recipes and my heart sank a little. Because most are, unfortunately, not at all practical!! Even if I did understand what a lot of the ingredients were, being able to get them is a mission and not one I can really afford to go on. If you live near a large health food store and have a decent budget this probably won't be an issue- but I don't so it is. Also if you're more experienced and know what you can substitute/ leave out this may help. There are very few recipes I'll actually manage to try, which is a shame because I'm sure they're delicious as these guys are super talented. I hope they can perhaps release a version suitable for those of us on more restricted budgets and not able to access exotic extras easily!
