Lust for Leaf

Isa Moskowitz’s Vegan With a Vengeance and Sarah Kramer’s How It All Vegan! showed the world that plant-based cookbooks don’t have to be full of sanctimonious text and wilted sprouts recipes. But why should vegans have all the fun? Food-blogging duo Alex Brown and Evan George- better known as Hot Knives- have shown their 60,000 monthly readers that vegetarians are”cheeky [and] over-the-top&rdquo too and”don’t much care for established notions of propriety” ( LA Weekly ). This is the only cookbook you’ll find with chapters called”Bro-tein&rdquo and”BBQ Mosh Pit,&rdquo or filled with recipes for DIY Wieners and Patties, Sauce-y Explosions, Salsas that Hurt, Deep Sea Mushrooms, and Nachos that Cook Themselves. And don’t forget dessert: try Hand-Cranked Cream Dreams and Booze You Can Eat.Hot Knives bring you vegetarianism with a new set of rules:”Enjoy your food, but party harder. Eat everything with your hands. Drink booze and fruit, not water. Make all of your junk food yourself. Cook at least half of everything you eat on an open fire. Switch to uppers, if possible.&rdquo Urbanhonking.com/hotknives/
