Summary: Buyer, beware!
Review: I was pleased to see this book at our local bookstore, but decided to check it out of our library first. Boy, am I glad I did! Many of the recipes include Worcestershire sauce. Students, especially those who are new to vegetarianism, may simply trust this book and may not know that Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies -- meat! Also, some canned mushroom soups have a beef base, which the author also neglects to mention. Just a note at the start -- or even just a concerted effort to specify *vegetarian* Worcestershire sauce would have made all the difference. However, these flaws are so big as to keep me from purchasing this book -- for myself, for any friends, or for the collection of the library in which I work.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I was really disappointed with this book. The recipes are not very healthful or cheap. Many include several tablespoons of fattening butter or oil, or handfuls of cheese. Many of them call for several cans of beans or vegetables or some kind of prepackaged food that most people don't already have on hand. I have gone through the book cover to cover three or four times and only found two recipes I really want to try. The rest are too inconvenient or too fattening.

Summary: Not a student, but love the book.
Review: I'm not a student, but, since I don't make much money and am short on time, I decided to order this book. I found this book extremely helpful with wonderful recipes that can be made in no time. The "Easy Stroganoff" was delicious, as was the "Spinach Tofu Lasagna." Most recipes include some sort of protein and vegetable mix, so they seem pretty nutritious. I have recommended this book to my friends and will continue to use it myself. I just wish there were more cookbooks like this out there!

Summary: Wonderful buy-highly recommended
Review: This cookbook is one of my favorites. The best one for me was the "Easy Stroganoff"..the best dish I have ever had. The recipes are simple, easy, and cheap. Make sure you have "veggie crumbles" on hand for a few of the recipes ( you can buy those at most grocery stores). I love this book, although it doesn't have nutritional information which would have been a plus. Overall, well worth the money.

Review: With "The Starving Students Vegetarian Cookbook" students can enjoy inexpensive home-cooked fare while dirtying as few dishes as possible. According to the University of Alaska Fairbanks bookstore, it is a top non-fiction best seller for college bookstores. Dede Halls vegetarian cookbook delivers quick, cheap and delicious meals that anyone can prepare. If your mother never showed you how to make an egg-salad sandwich, there is no need to fret. Not only can you learn how to make an egg-salad sandwich, but you can also try dishes like "Lynn's tofu spinach lasagna" and "onion potato soup." The cookbook lists the staples one needs to have on hand to prepare these simple vegetarian meals. There is enough variety to avoid boredom. Many of the recipes will be ready in less than 15 minutes. The reduced number of dishes used in cooking is of benefit to college students on a tight budget. Hall includes cleaning and shopping tips for those who are just now becoming responsible for their own homes. Tips like how to shop for citrus fruits or how to chop onions are scattered throughout the book.
I tried a few recipes out for myself, and was very pleased with the results. The chile rellenos were easy to make, and very tasty. Using only a few ingredients (eggs, cheese, baking mix, milk and green chilis), the dish was easy to prepare and a big hit with my family.
The zucchini enchiladas also made a wonderful meal. Using flour tortillas and canned sauce, they were quick to prepare with excellent results.
There are several other promising recipes I intend to try: Caribbean red beans and rice, banana fritters, and Spanish corn bread are just a few.
My only complaint is that there is no nutritional analysis of the foods. As many vegetarians are health-conscious, this would have been a nice feature. Still, the recipes do seem to be nutritious as well as simple. With the busy schedule and tight budgets of most students, this is a useful book full of culinary ideas that will appeal to vegetarian and non-vegetarian alike.
