|title=Healthy Vegan The Cookbook: Vegan Cooking Meets Nutrition Science
|author=Niko Rittenau and Sebastian Copien
|rating=4.5
|genre=Cookery
|summary=Emotionally, I am a vegan. Mentally, I am a vegan. I read [[How to Love Animals in a Human-Shaped World by Henry Mance]] and was appalled by the way in which we treat animals in our search for (preferably cheap) food. Practically, I am not a vegan. It worked for a while apart from the odd blip with regard to cheese but then a perfect storm of those events which you hope don't occur too often in your lifetime tempted me back to animal-based protein. It wasn't the taste - I know that I can get plant-based food that tastes just as good as anything plundered from the animal kingdom - it was the ease of being able to get sufficient protein when meals were often snatched in a few spare moments.

|genre=Cookery
|summary=I grew up in the immediate post-war period. Growing your own vegetables had been a necessity in the war and it was still a habit for those who had a bit of garden, so ''The Kew Gardens Children's Cookbook'' was a real pleasure for me, as well as a touch of nostalgia. The principle is very simple: show children how to grow their own vegetables and then how to transform them into delicious food. It sounds simple, doesn't it? Well, it might come as a surprise, but it is!

|isbn=Freer_Cook
|title=Cook. Nourish. Glow.
|author=Amelia Freer
|rating=4
|genre=Cookery
|summary=It's just about a year since I read Amelia Freer's [[Eat. Nourish. Glow.: 10 easy steps for losing weight, looking younger and feeling healthier by Amelia Freer|Eat. Nourish. Glow.]], a book which quietly impressed me and which I hung on to (not something I do regularly) and have referred back to many times for inspiration and a quick boost to the spirit. Most of the principles behind the book seemed sound, although I wasn't prepared to go down the wheat-free road as I've no reason to think that I'm sensitive to gluten - and I do wonder how most of the world would be fed if we all gave up eating wheat - but if I felt the book had a shortcoming, it was the lack of recipes. Well, that's now been remedied.
