Ultimate Veg: Easy & Delicious Meals for Everyone [American Measurements]

American measurements. Great cookbook with lots of good ideas.

I love this cookbook! The recipes are simple enough to do on a weeknight, but are an interesting way to get out of a rut. Some ingredients are hard to come by in my little town, but I’ve been able to improvise or order specialty ingredients online. This is a great book if you are a full-time vegetarian or just dabble during the weeknights. There’s a great variety of flavorful recipes for any meal: brunch with friends, quick lunches, or showstopper dinners. If you’re looking for a cookbook to keep things interesting, I highly recommend this one!

I love the Ultimate Veg cookbook and have made 6 recipes since buying it as a Christmas gift for myself. Every recipe is easy to follow and most of the ingredients are readily available in most stores. Most of the recipes are relatively bland for my liking so I always add a hint of heat ie: crushed chili peppers, cayenne or smoked paprika. Would definitely add this to your book shelf in addition to Jamie's "5 Ingredients" cookbook as well. Enjoy!

Great for incorporating delicious vegetables and tasty spices and ingredients into family meals. NOT a vegetarian cookbook so don't be misled by the title. Most meals include butter, eggs, even seafoods, etc. Love Jamie and his tv shows - he makes cooking fun and pretty easy!

The book itself is not sturdy. I have been waiting since the middle of last year when I started following Jamie on his Facebook page. I preordered in November... and waited not so patiently... the first time I opened the book to read the cover started coming off. I have been waiting a looong time for this book... I’m not waiting any longer, Im not returning the book just to turn around and have to wait again. I travelled to a few stores yesterday looking for ingredients. Made veggie pad Thai. As I was putting together the recipe I was getting nervous my kids would not like it. Not to worry, even fussy mr 4 gobbled it up. Mr 10 was surprised at how full he was, but the best reaction was from my husband... he asked “is this hard to put together?” I said no (the hardest part was gathering the ingredients... seriously I went into the pantry and could not find anything- and they were right in front of my face... hoping clean eating will help fix this foggy brain) then the hubster said he could eat it all the time and packed up the leftovers for his work tomorrow. That is the ultimate praise. That man loves his food, loves his meat, but is willing to try changing his lifestyle to save his life. Thanks Jamie Oliver. My only complaint is the binding.

After watching the Jaimie Oliver cooking channel, I was really interested in many of his plant based recipes as well as the meat ones so this was my first purchase of what will be more to come. His recipes call for things easily available although you need to make sure you have the herbs he uses on hand. I particularly liked how he uses herbs for flavors so that you don't have to over salt the dishes.....you just salt to taste. I have to monitor my salt intake so this really works well for me. He uses the full variety of vegetables as well which I love........yes, some veggies have different names than what they are called in the U.S. but big deal, it's not a problem in the least. Love the easy cooking.

This is actually a lovely book to look through. Beautiful pics, great stories, and enjoyed reading the British lingo--super cute, but um, I havent heard of too many of these ingredients. I looked through the entire book, a very lengthy book, and maybe found 2 recipes that I had all of the ingredients for AND it was something I was interested in making. I enjoy purchasing cookbooks that are a nice mix of recipes that are exploratory and jazzed up common recipes. This is mostly exploratory, but not interesting like experimenting with food from a different culture that you may be unfamiliar with making. Just a lot of huh's and meh's. My cupboard is pretty stacked with a wide variety of stuff. I purchased 4 other vegan cookbooks along with his one and as odd as some find vegan food, and I am not a vegan or vegetarian, I still have 95% of the ingredients in all of these books. I can count on one hadn't what I dont have pretty much. Definitely not the case here. Coupled with the good amount of ingredients that I was unfamiliar with, this cookbook was a definite return for me. Beautifully constructed though.

I purchased the Ultimate Veg Kindle Edition with hesitation. You never know if there will be pictures of all the recipes or macros/nutrition information listed. It seems I was worried about nothing because this one has BOTH!! I'm not sure about the reviews with metric units, I can guarantee my edition (Ultimate Veg) is imperial (US) - screenshot attached of the macros and first few ingredients for the puff pastry sheet pan pizza. Also important to note, all of the ingredients are "normal" items you can find in a regular grocery store, and there aren't a ton of ingredients per recipe. If you're not looking to go full on vegetarian/vegan, but just want to easily add a couple extra plant based meals to your week, this is a great way to get started. Jamie makes cooking - and cooking healthily for your family - so accessible.
