... moreThug Kitchen
Thug Kitchen was the first vegetarian cookbook I ever purchased. I have no regrets! They have a variety of recipes that should satisfy any picky eaters. My family loves the Black Bean Tortas with Coconut Chipotle Mayo! Yum! The authors do use some spicy language so it may not be the vegetarian cookbook for everyone. - Molly Pearcy
