I am always looking for new recipes to incorporate more vegetables into our family’s meals. I was excited to see multicultural recipes included along with more commonly known recipes. These are good resources to have and are inspirational to creating your own.

Tha k you NetGalley and to the publishers for allowing me the access to this recipe book.

I loved it and will be using her recipes for sure.

Colorful cookbook with flavorful recipes, most appeal to me and align with my meal preferences. Generally easy to follow, would recommend!

The Vegetarian Reset is a lovely colourful cookbook that has some great recipes. I really liked the pictures of the recipes as a lot of cookbooks don’t have that now. Some yummy recipes that are full of flavour and healthy ingredients. Easy to understand and easy to follow recipes. 5 star read.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy.

I liked the author’s authentic voice, but the recipes were underwhelming. As a vegetarian I didn’t learn anything new.

This book gives you quite a few ideas for vegetarian cooking. I went into it looking for ways to incorporate vegetable meals into my diet, but my one criticism is that I am a picky eater and some of these dishes just weren't for me.

I downloaded this book with the hope that I would find some new vegetarian meals to make. Although I am not a vegetarian, I am eating less and less meat and will have a few days each week that I don't eat meat. Unfortunately, this book didn't really work for me, mainly because of where I live. Other than the salad recipes which tasted good and were easy to make, the majority of the recipes had ingredients that are not easily located in my smallish city. While my city has grown and is becoming more diverse there are a lot of ingredients I have not even heard of and quite frankly didn't appeal to me. I think this cookbook would work well for anyone living in a large city where the ingredients are easy to find in their local grocery store and for someone who enjoys a wide variety of foods.

Wonderful selection of plant-focused dishes inspired by many regions. There is literally a dish for anyone in here and I love the focus on plants. These recipes are easy to follow and look incredible! I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to add more plant-heavy meals into their meal rotation and they want a variety of flavours and combinations.

Thank you to NetGalley, The Collective Book Studio and Vasudha Viswanath for giving me an ARC of this wonderful cookbook!

I liked this vegetarian cookery book which does away with all the awful highly processed pretend meat side of plant-based eating and instead brings the recipes back to centering on vegetables. The food in the photos looks vibrant, colourful and tasty, and has the benefit also of being lower in refined carbohydrates. A lot of the recipes are also gluten free.

Thank you, The Collective Book Studio, for the copy of The Vegetarian Reset by Vasudha Viswanath. I love reading cookbooks and I loved this one. There are a few recipes I can’t wait to try and others I will have to wait until I buy the correct spices. I like how some recipes work for other recipes, like the zucchini bread and how the author was so proud of how good her food was. I wish the Kindle pictures had been better, but that might be too much to ask. 4 stars

This is a lovely cookery book, with a healthful focus on whole foods and Mediterranean type food. It is a collection of 75 recipes across 9 chapters. Organisation is along the lines of bread, salads, soups, dessert etc.

For each recipe a calorie count is given, as is a macro breakdown. Recipe measurements are helpfully given in both metric and imperial systems.

The recipes themselves are wonderfully unique and photograph beautifully - 'chickpea crepes' had me intrigued and the 'Shepards pie' looks deliciously different! I love the variety of recipes offered and have earmarked several to try!

My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

When I pick a cookbook, I often have a baseline of expectations; if 50% of the recipes appeal to me and my family, if the author knows what they are doing it and explaining it clearly, and some good photos to show the end result.
When I get new ideas, lesser-known recipes and the majority of the recipes appealing to me, I feel extremely lucky.
This is such a book - interesting bread ideas, inspired by many cuisines, with Indian kitchens being the top one, many interesting salads, some well-known soups with unique touches, smoothies and many more. I must purchase this for me and my best friends.

"The Vegetarian Reset" contains a number of vegetarian recipes from around the world, often with an Indian theme. There are a mixture of standard, more recognisable recipes and ones which sound more adventurous and unusual.

The book is divided into sections such as soups, salads, eggs, pasta, smoothies. Each recipe has an introduction providing some background and there don't seem to be many long lists of unusual ingredients, all the recipes look achievable.

There are clear step by step instructions provided and the accompanying photographs make the recipes look very tempting.

This seems a very useful cookbook for vegetarians or those keen to eat more vegetarian food. There are definitely a number of recipes I am keep to try - including chickpea crepes and a version of Bibimbap. I was pleased and impressed to find a recipe for Kadhi, which I had tried at a colleague’s house but couldn’t remember the name of, this will be the first recipe I try from this book!

Kindle version is a bit hard to read through. Photos look beautiful. Recipes sound tasty. Good mix of globally inspired meals.

Can I start by saying YUM! Everything in this book looks and sounds so good! I love how approachable the recipes are - nothing is too complicated. I especially liked some of the recipes that kind of "hid" vegetables in the foods.

"Vegetarian Reset" shows promise with its creative take on vegetarian cooking. The cookbook particularly shines in its cross-cultural fusion recipes, such as the innovative chickpea flour quesadillas and the Bombay-inspired eggplant chili cheese toast. These unique adaptations demonstrate thoughtful reimagining of traditional dishes through a global lens.

However, the cookbook's potential is somewhat diluted by the inclusion of overly familiar recipes like avocado toast, French onion soup, or arancini with marinara sauce, etc. While these classics are reliable, their presence feels unnecessary in a cookbook that otherwise aims to bring fresh perspectives to vegetarian cooking. There are a lot of dishes with egg, I would have liked some egg free or egg alternatives to those dishes.

A significant drawback is the book's formatting, which proves challenging for practical kitchen use. The recipe layouts and instructions aren't particularly user-friendly, making it difficult to follow along while cooking or even when planning meals.

Despite these shortcomings, the innovative fusion recipes make this cookbook an intriguing addition to a vegetarian kitchen. While some recipes may be commonplace, the unique cross-cultural offerings provide exciting new possibilities for vegetarian cooking. I'm looking forward to experimenting with the more innovative dishes, even if I'll have to work around the formatting challenges.

Thank you NetGalley for ARC, all opinions are my own.

so many yummy recipes! excited to make some of these! this is a perfect read for those looking to expand into veg dishes

Really clearly & well written and laid out! Thought that the recipes were a good range of different things and seem fairly straight forward.

This is a great cookbook for vegetarians who want to transition to healthier, lower carb dishes or carnivores who want to try some flavorful, whole food vegetarian dishes from around the world. I love that there is a photo and nutritional information for each recipe. I aim for more of a low carb Mediterranean diet these days and I cook for gluten free kids and a keto husband. A lot of these recipes are still too high in carbs for keto eaters and some may be a little too grown up and international for some others (especially those attached to the SAD, or standard American diet), and many are a fair amount of work. There aren’t a million ingredients for most of them though and I’m looking forward to trying a few of the recipes.

I read a temporary digital loan of this book via netgalley.

There's never a bad time to try new foods, and The Vegetarian Reset is a perfect addition to anyone's food journey.

The recipes have both imperial and metric measurements, which make it adaptable to any kitchen. The recipes and ingredients are divided by steps, which makes it really easy to prepare all ingredients before hand. Each recipe has a picture of the dish, so it's easy to compare your attempt with the professional picture that always looks good. For the most part, my attempts looked the same.

The recipes include a short introduction to each recipe with a personal anecdote about each dish. That gives the book a bit more of a personal edge that's very welcome against other cookbooks which feel industrial and cold. This book is also rather diverse, sampling recipes from all around the world. There are also a few twists on old favorites, like the Burrito Jar- makes for a perfect lunchbox meal.

The first recipe I tried was the Eggplant Chile Cheese Toast, which was brilliant. It was a new dish to me and the step-by-step instructions were clear, easy to follow, and very detailed. I had no confusion when making the food. The balance of the ingredients were also delicious, and allows the cook to change them up as they wish.

The second recipe was the PB&J Sandwich Cookies, which I have to admit- I judged it a little too quickly. The cookies in this recipe are so delicious and so flavorful- wow! I even like the suggestion of using cream cheese instead of peanut butter.

Overall, this is a fantastic cookbook for anyone who is looking to add more vegetarian recipes into their diet that doesn't just consist of noodles and rice.
