What I like about the book is that it is a good mix of vegan and vegetarian recipes so that you don’t end up in obscure, unknown ingredient lists which look too scary to try, but do include vegan alternatives you feel confident trying out. 
In the introduction you also get a good list of meat and dairy-free substitutes, a list you should photocopy and keep handy in your kitchen for when you go shopping or plan new meal ideas. 
Seeing as there are 1000 recipes, not all are new. Most of us know how to whip up an omelette and add different toppings or make a few different wraps. But there are great recipes included which you probably haven’t seen and some common recipes simplified (some bread are actually achievable even if you aren’t a baker!).
The good thing is that you get a basic recipe, and then three or four variations, may it be toppings, ingredients or other changes. So if there is something you like, you can learn to make it in different ways and mix it up, as I did with a number of dips and sides.

I am a new Vegetarian convert so this book was brilliant for me. My daughter was a vegetarian for 14 years and is now Vegan and she liked this book as well although it is better suited to vegetarians.
Recipes are a mix of simple and more challenging.
Recipes are from lots of different countries which was good for me.
The only thing it lacked was nutritional information.
Thanks to NetGalley and Chartwell Books for allowing me to read this Arc in return for a fair review.
4 Stars.

First of, this is a very pretty book. The layout is very clean, yet fun, and the food pics are nice. The recipes are very easy to follow and adapt to your own preference, and every recipe comes with several suggestions to change the recipe up a bit. The measurements aren't consistent though, and some of the labeling isn't correct (but I'm convinced this will be solved before publication).
The recipes themselves are fine. If you are looking for new staple meals, this is the place to find them. But nothing is really new or inspiring. I have cooked several of the dishes, and they were all tasty enough... but nothing mindblowing. 
I can't really make a judgement on the gluten-free part of the recipes, but in general this book is especially good for vegetarians (or vegans with easy access to good vegan cheese). The baking part is almost exclusively vegan though, and looks promising enough (I haven't made any of these recipes).

Overall, a nice book that I would recommend, but mainly to starting vegetarians.

This is a lovely cookbook with beautiful photos and easy to follow recipes. I really enjoy how short the recipes are. My only critique would be more clearly annotating which recipes are vegan and which are vegetarian for quick perusal.

I liked how this cookbook has both vegetarian and vegan recipes. I think it could be very versatile.

I would not add 1000 Vegan and Vegetarian Meals edited by Chartwell Books to a classroom or for curriculum adoption. However, the book was a wonderful starting point for people who are just beginning their journey into a more healthy lifestyle. I could see this one being a staple in many homes.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great recipe book!

Not every recipe has a picture which is kind of a bummer, but every picture that is included is nice! There's a variety of recipes from dinners to desserts. Some are very unique as well including the vegetable loaf and various tarts.

It's a fun recipe book with ideas on how to get more vegetables in your diet! Some of the recipes seem time intensive but others are approachable. Overall a fun find!

#1000VeganandVegetarianMeals #NetGalley As a vegetarian for over 25 years, my husband and I have also started to incorporate more vegan meals into our repertoire.  This cookbook was ideally placed to cover both vegetarian and vegan meals . Simple, easy to follow recipes, it is nice to find a cookbook that offers new ideas. we look forward to trying many of these recipes over the coming months

1000 Vegan and Vegetarian Meals is a new veg*n recipe collection with recipes curated and presented by the Chartwell editors. Due out 23rd Feb 2021 from Quarto on their Chartwell imprint, it's 256 pages and will be available in hardcover format.

This is a graphically appealing, well written, and accessible cookbook with an array of vegetarian and some vegan recipes to appeal to most tastes. I really liked the layout and formatting of this cookbook. There is no introduction or basic techniques or tool info. The book hops right into the recipe selections. The recipes which are included are arranged roughly thematically: breakfast & brunch, super salads, healthy soups, grazing dishes, quick & tasty, hearty comfort food, feed a crowd, and sweet treats. There are a huge number of recipes, though many are not very complex at all, and they represent a broad number of different world cuisines. I noticed some variations in the way the recipes were actually written and the way the ingredients were measured. According to the editorial information, there are three main recipe developers: Susannah Blake, Deborah Gray, and Michael Keogh, which could possibly explain variations. It's not a deal-breaker, there isn't that much difference really, but it is noticeable.

Ingredient measurements are supplied in American standard measurements with some metric measures included (yay!).  The nutritional information is not included.  Each recipe includes a header with a short description of the recipe and approximate servings. Extra tips or recipe alternatives are listed in text boxes in the recipes. The recipes themselves are fairly straightforward and are made for the most part with easily sourced ingredients. Many are very simple, none of them are overly complex. The photography is abundant and clear and the recipes are illustrated simply and clearly. Nearly all of the recipes also include a highlighted text box offering tips and alternative presentations and variations.

This is a large collection of recipes and even allowing for the fact that some of them are very similar to others in the same category, this will keep meat-free cooking fans going for ages. There are many simple "everyday" recipes which are anything but boring alongside fancier "special" dinner recipes. We tried several dishes and all of them were tasty and well written.

We're definitely going to try more of these recipes.

Five stars. This is a massive cookbook which will be used. It would make a superlative housewarming gift to a friend or family member living on their own - college student, new graduate, newlyweds, kids flying the nest, etc or a friend trying to eat more health consciously with better quality ingredients as well as a nice acquisition for the home library.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an Advanced Reader's e-Copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. 

For a whole compilation of veg/ vegan recipes, it's alright as long as you already cook and have the instincts in place. I don't believe it's a good start for beginners, even if they do promise variety and volume in terms of their recipe options. Would've appreciated more pictures and more detailed recipes, but otherwise these are somewhat like the recipes you'd find on YouTube when you put in "vegetarian healthy recipe" in the search bar. I found it quite amusing that in the whole landscape of Indian+ vegetarian cuisine they picked samosa and mango chutney to feature.

Did it inspire me to cook something? Not yet. Did it tell me what I already knew about vegetarian food having great versatility? Yes. Be a little watchful of whether this book would in fact be use to you.

This book is filled with tons of creative recipes perfect for vegeterians looking to spice up their routines and for those looking to eat more plant based meals. I love that each one has ideas for customizaion. 
Many thanks to Chartwell Books and NetGalley for the advance copy.

This cookbook does a great job at including kid-friendly, adults-(probably)-only, and DIY to everyone’s own tastes. Many of the recipes also have notes at the end for substitutions and other tips. It’s a great cookbook to give as a gift to new families or more established families who may need some new staples.

Amazing colourful recipe book packed with delicious recipes. 
Being new to trying Vegan dishes, I loved how this was set out on the pages and also how the sections were broken down. 
This is definitely one I would buy for my cookbook shelf but also for vegan friends too. 
Thanks Netgalley for this ARC.

"1000 Vegan and Vegetarian Meals: Everyday Recipes to Make Healthy Eating Easy" provides recipes in various categories, such as grazing dishes and comfort food. Many of the recipes are delicious and experienced cooks will enjoy working through the wide variety of dishes. 

For me, most of the recipes were far too complicated or required too many ingredients (or ingredients I do not keep on hand). While the book advertises the meals as quick and easy, I think that most are for more ambitious chefs. For example, in the quick and tasty category, recipes call for ingredients such as pine kernels, chipotle paste, cumin seeds and sliced baby leeks, none of which I would have on hand. I'm not even sure how hard it would be able to find some of these ingredients in most grocery stores. Further, many recipes require techniques that less experienced cooks are not familiar with, such julienning vegetables. I found myself wishing that all the recipes were vegan as well. 

Experienced cooks or novice cooks looking to learn and experiment will find much to enjoy in this book.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a galley of the book in exchange for providing an honest review.

This past New Year’s Day I celebrated my thirteenth year of being vegetarian. Time has flown and I’ve never been unhappy with my decision–ever. The one thing that has made it easy for me to make what was a drastic change at that time was finding lots of tasty recipes. If you’ve been reading my reviews of vegan and vegetarian cookbooks, you know I have a pet peeve about seeing the same recipes over and over again: smoothies, shepherd’s pie, and most things that have arugula in them. Ha.

1000 Vegan & Vegetarian Meals brought to us by the editors of Chartwell books has something for everyone in it. Yes, even a couple of smoothie recipes but not shepherd’s pie. (wink) I love the variety of recipes that encompass most cuisines from Asian to Mexican to Middle Eastern. And there are many new versions of recipes in this book. One I am eager to try is the pastitsio recipe, which is a Greek ground beef and lamb dish that here is filled with vegetables with a tomato and yogurt sauce.

The variety of dishes range from comfort foods that you want to eat in these cold winter’s months to dishes like Greek Tortellini salad that sound perfect for a summer’s meal. Among the soups are a Tortilla Soup with fresh flavors that will make you forget that chicken was ever once supposed to be an ingredient. And while shakshuka seems to be in everyone’s cookbook lately, the one here is filled with baby greens with the tomato sauce (8-9 cherry tomatoes in this case) taking a back seat to asparagus, beans, spinach, leeks to make a very healthy dish that I look forward to cooking.

Beet brownies? Yeah, I might not be able to convince everyone around me to give them a try, but I will. Maybe even with some walnuts thrown in. Also there’s a non-dairy cheesecake to try…and a strawberry tart.

Honestly, I vowed not to buy anymore cookbooks (except for maybe Ottolenghi), but there is an excellent chance I’m going to buy this hardcover and start cooking right away.

I have only one gripe about this book and that is the inconsistency of the measurements. In the breakfast recipes, flour and the like are given in ounces (which I find annoying but doable) but in later recipes flour, etc. are given in cups (which I prefer). This is by no means a game changer. Consistency is just a plus.

Also, for those of you who note these things. Nutritional information is not provided. Most recipes have pictures but not all. The ones that do currently have my drool all over them. Good thing that this isn’t your copy of the book, eh? 😉

I didn't really find many recipes that inspired me or were new to me, and that's the cardinal sin for a recipe book for me. Now, I'm a fairly experienced vegetarian cook, but this book is also not so basic and simple that I'd consider it ideal for complete beginners. It's beautifully illustrated though, and there were a few recipes that seemed interesting: oaty apple pancakes, onion and arugula fritter, garlicky miso cavolo nero, cashew spread, sweet potato steaks, gnocci in cashew 'cheese' sauce, West African peanut stew, Bangkok satay noodles, gnocci with butterbeans, tomato and spinach, and balsamic mushrooms with polenta. Written out like that it sounds like a lot, but overall I just felt a little underwhelmed by the majority of the recipes, which often seemed obvious or unoriginal.

3/5

I really like this book. As someone who s not vegan, but is trying to add vegan this book has a ton of awesome recipes (the Lentil and Quinoa Burgers are oustanding).

My only problems were with the online format, it was very hard to look through the recipes which in turn made it not very visually apealing. The recipes are awesome though.

I would recommend this book, just not an online copy.

There are a plethora of good recipes for the non-meat eater in your life within these pages! Many creative and unique things compared to many other veggie cookbooks I own.

As a newish Vegan I'm always looking for new recipe ideas, so the idea of having so many in one place was appealing.

The recipes are nicely laid out with easy to follow instructions and don't rely on hard to find ingredients, which can be an issue with Vegan cookbooks. 

There is a good mixture of recipes presented - with foods from different cultures being included. The food photography is nothing special, however, which might be a sore point if you're one to eat with your eyes. 

The recipes just didn't inspire me, however. There was little that felt new or exciting. I'd recommend the collection to new Vegetarians or Vegans, or those looking to explore meatless meals. If you're more familiar with this kind of cooking, however, I'd look elsewhere.

Are you or someone you know a vegan? If yes, this book is sure to be a hit. It is also a terrific resource for non vegans. Imagine so many recipes all accessible in one large volume. Included are ideas for breakfast, salads, soups, hearty comfort food, sweet treats and more. There is even a section called Quick and Tasty for when time is scarce.

It is impossible to list even a fractions of the recipes included in this compendium. Just a few are those for French Toast Maple Syrup Muffins ; Cauliflower Rice with Spiced Walnuts;, Coconut, Zucchini and Mushroom Soup; Three Tomato and Goat Cheese Tart; Vegetable Pastitsio and Chestnut and Mushroom Bourguignon. Each recipe has clear directions and there is a photograph to accompany each.

This is a wonderful resource. Enjoy!
