Recommendations for vegetarian student cookbook

[DilkushaKitchen]

My youngest is hopefully off to university in September, any recommendations for a good vegetarian student cookbook?

She's quite interested in cooking, but not massively confident. She's mainly cooked pasta, stir fry, chopped salads, the odd recipe box so far. I think she would prefer to cook simple things from scratch, rather than just combining ready made stuff.

Thank you!

The Roasting Tin series of books by Rukmini Iyer are good.

I have this

Im not a student, but I am lazy and also like a budget meal. I really like quite a few recipes in here and I think it has a few tips for people not confident in the kitchen

I lived on this book as a student - cheap, easy and nothing too faffy. It’s out of date and veggie food has moved on/become more exotic since then, but I still use it as a staple and if you’re on a limited budget it’s great:

The Green Roasting Tin is fabulous. It makes a lovely present wrapped up with a suitable roasting tin. Chetna Makan on YouTube has really easy, very clear and delicious vegetarian and vegan recipes.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll take a look. We have The Green Roasting Tin and love it.

I had grub on a grant 25 years ago! Maybe a bit bland for modern palates.

Bbc good food 101 veggie dishes was also one of my student staples and I still cook from it today.

Green roasting tin is good but I find she uses quite expensive ingredients. East by Meera Sodha I find cheaper and/or easier to substitute stuff.

Mark Bittman's How to Eat Everyting Vegetarian is great! Not a student cookbook, it's not organized around recipes but food groups and it's rather encyclopedic in this. Lots of variants and substitutions. No convoluted complex recipes in Ottolenghi-style. I love it as an experienced cook but can see it being quite useful to a novice as well, as a good way to nudge them into using their own judgment and playing it by ear.
