Editorial Reviews

Review

College just became a little bit easier with PETA's Vegan College Cookbook

(VegNews blog 20090508)

will give any real-world, on-the-go student or young professional great recipe ideas to stay vegan and well-fed even when they don't have time to think.
(Sean Conner DC Vegan 20090508)

I'm pretty anti-cookbook because I feel most recipes are way too complicated and expensive, but this cookbook certainly debunks that theory. In fact, most of the recipes have about 5 or less ingredients and every recipe looks super quick, super easy, and super cheap! (Ed Coffin Eating Consciously 20090508)

I think the "spotlights" are great. They give a bunch of fun ideas to jazz up cheap ingredients. I know a lot of people that lived on ramen when we were in school! I bet they would have loved some healthier and tastier options. (Maggie Snyder Say Yes To Salad 20090510)

If you are in college and vegan, this is the cookbook to buy! If you're not in college and not vegan, but just looking for an easier way to eat healthy and perhaps don't know how, this cookbook gives you a ton of simple, fast, and healthy recipes.
(Tina Haupert Carrots n Cake 20090510)

I think this would be great for college students who are looking for healthy alternatives to crap college food. Lets face it, most college students have trouble making Ramen (no offense to some of you out there who CAN cook). I think this book has some great meal ideas that are quick, healthy, and VEGAN.
(Matt Tabor Run, Live and Enjoy 20090511)

This book will give you some insight and motivation to keeping your diet vegan while staying up late, being around party people, and by being under the gun of deadlines. (Jenn Blumberg Hello Veggie 20090511)

I realized that this cookbook was actually completely perfect for this time of my life. No, I'm not living in a dorm with limited space and cooking utensils, but I am definitely short on time. (Gina Rothwell Vegan Strong 20090508)

...it is encouraging cooking and sticking true to oneself and beliefs – especially as the ultimate visitor in a processed food, meat lovers world. (Dayna McIssac Vegan Visitor 20090511)

this book is great for the college vegan and beyond. it's informative, and written in a fun and inviting way. there is nothing intimidating - i thumbed through the book and felt totally comfortable with tackling any of the recipes. (Valerie Thompson Miss V''s Vegan Cookbook 20090512)

Overall, I think this cookbook would be great for a college student, or anyone looking for some simple vegan meals to make. (Abbie Hawkes Foods that Fit 20090513)

If you are looking for a really good cookbook, with simple yet delicious recipes, I'd HIGHLY recommend this one!

(Eric Bryan Vegan Grub 20090515)

this book is GREAT for those who lead a vegan lifestyle/ want some quick and easy vegan recipes! especially those who are living in a dorm and do not have access to appliances like i said-- after all i imagine it would be difficult being a vegan college student who has to navigate the school cafeteria! (Fearless, Fabulous and Full of Life 20090518)

If you are a young college student looking to explore the vegan lifestyle, this book is a great resource because it provides easy, cheap and delicious ways to eat vegan without overwhelming you with information (Jenn Korducki Eating Bender 20090518)

Being vegan in college doesn't have to be difficult, thanks to Peta's new college cookbook (Julie Hasson Everyday Dish 20090519)

So, your favorite vegan is heading off to college this fall, and you're looking for the perfect graduation gift...or you're trying to impress that vegan in your psych class but you have no clue how to cook...or maybe you just want food that's fast, cheap, and easy to prepare. What do you do? Where will you turn? You could search the internet, sure, but if you're looking for a book with all the answers in one place, you needn't look further than the new Peta's Vegan College Cookbook.


(Kati Haskins The Veggie Voice 20090521)

Perfect for first time college students who are newly vegan and want to know what they can eat in a college environment. (Emily Carlson The Health Nut 20090523)

This is a great book for a younger crowd (HS to College) and I think PETA does a good job at making cooking (particularly Vegan and vegetarian cooking) a low-stress, fun activity.
(Gliding Calm 20090605)

Whether you are vegan or just a time-crunched and lazy busy student looking for some quick and tasty food fuelling, PETA's Vegan College Cookbook is worth checking out. (Kristie Kinch Lighter Portions )

...the perfect solution for students who don't have a kitchen and are looking for quick and delicious recipes. (Anna Monette Roberts Vegetarian Times Online )

I think the book is perfect for college students (and I should know--I teach them!). (Vegan Dad )

If you're new to veganism, this cookbook is a great way to get your feet wet and help you with your vegan journey.
(Lindsay Nixon Happy Herbivore )

2.0 out of 5 stars do you need a cookbook to tell you how to make grilled cheese?, June 15, 2009
This review is from: PETA's Vegan College Cookbook: 275 Easy, Cheap, and Delicious Recipes to Keep You Vegan at School (Paperback)
If so then this is for you. I looked over this in the bookstore and the things that stood out to me were several pages on how to make a peanut butter and banana sandwich, how to make a vegan grilled cheese, and how to make "poor folks" cinnamon rolls (answer: white bread with margarine sugar and cinnamon). No thanks. other things in the cookbook may be more complicated (and...tastier?) but as a college student with no kitchen and only a blender to my name, I can be more creative and healthy than this on my own. also, faux meats and cheese are *expensive* for a college budget. (And get quickly lost in the dorm fridge)... better to spend on nutritional yeast which will perk up popcorn, pasta, and soups. Then again for a first-time vegan this is possibly adequate and I could be a food snob. In short, vegan food snobs, this is not the book for you. :)

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth buying, July 23, 2009
By 
This review is from: PETA's Vegan College Cookbook: 275 Easy, Cheap, and Delicious Recipes to Keep You Vegan at School (Paperback)
This book may be worth checking out from the library or borrowing from a friend, but don't waste your money. Far too many of the recipes are anything but, e.g. microwave a Boca burger and put it on bread with condiments, put jelly and vegan cream cheese on a bagel and smoosh it together, etc. etc. Any college student is smart enough to figure most of these recipes out on his/her own without shelling out the cash. The authors claim all the ingredients are cheap but often rely on fake meats/cheeses/etc which simply aren't in a college student's everyday budget. In addition, almost all of the little blurbs before each recipe rely on very tired stereotypes about college life that try so hard to be funny and unique but fall flat and get old quick. E.g. in the breakfast section, nearly all of the recipe blurbs assume you're hungover, and in others many assume that you want to avoid studying at all costs, etc. There are a rare few recipes worth noting, but I would recommend the Student's Go Vegan Cookbook or even [...] before this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth owning!, April 26, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PETA's Vegan College Cookbook: 275 Easy, Cheap, and Delicious Recipes to Keep You Vegan at School (Paperback)
This is another PETA hit. Well worth owning. I am lonnng past college age, but got this for some quick ideas for weekends or nights there wasn't much time to cook. It is great for this.

It does use a lot of faux meats and cheeses as you might expect. There are recipes without these though.

The recipes I've tried so far were hits - not just with myself but the family and I'm going to try to upload a photo of the peanut butter cup pie from p.87. OH MAN. You can sell this stuff by the slice an make a fortune. It's UBER GOOD!!!

If you are in college and vegan or if you just want some really, really quick and easy TASTY meals - this is the book to get. Honestly, I wish I could afford to by several hundred to hand out on our local college campus. Great food - fast and all you need is a microwave and a blender. There is no reason you can't be vegan! :)
