BOSH!: The Cookbook: Simple Recipes. Amazing Food. All Plants. by Henry Firth, Ian Theasby

4.0

This is an absolute corker of a recipe book. You may be familiar with their YouTube channel (I must admit I find them fairly annoying to watch) but the dishes looked great which led me to the book and I am not disappointed.

Every dish I've made has been fantastic. The recipes are generally easy to follow although some are a bit involved (so worth it though).

The book could do with a bit more thought as to how the recipes are displayed as there are some significant issues. For instance recipes don't say how long they take. There is a "quick eats" section but it's next to meaningless when some of the dishes within that section take 20mins and others take about 50.

Also the method is delivered as prose not bullet points so it can be hard to see where you are, at a glance.

There is also an instance where the text tells you to leave something with no lid on and the next sentence tells you to remove the lid to check something.

My guess is this was rushed out due to the boys popularity. Hopefully future books will have fixed some of the issues.

That being said, I have given it 4 out of 5 for one reason only and that is the the recipes. None of these issues should put you off getting this book. It's a real game changer for vegan cooking and has become my go to recipe book.
