## Overview

Thug Kitchen: The Official Cookbook is a #1 New York Times bestseller featuring over 100 tested vegan recipes that combine bold flavors with accessible ingredients. Certified refurbished and ready to energize your kitchen, this cookbook has inspired a massive community to ditch fast food and embrace real, plant-based meals with attitude and humor.

## Description

#1 New York Times Bestseller, first in the bestselling series Thug Kitchen started their wildly popular website to inspire people to eat some goddamn vegetables and adopt a healthier lifestyle. Beloved by Gwyneth Paltrow ('This might be my favorite thing ever') and with half a million Facebook fans and counting, Thug Kitchen wants to show everyone how to take charge of their plates and cook up some real f*cking food. Yeah, plenty of blogs and cookbooks preach about how to eat more kale, why ginger fights inflammation, and how to cook with microgreens and nettles. But they are dull or pretentious as hell—and most people can't afford the hype. Thug Kitchen lives in the real world. In their first cookbook, they're throwing down more than 100 recipes for their best-loved meals, snacks and sides for beginning cooks to home chefs. (Roasted Beer and Lime Cauliflower Tacos? Pumpkin Chili? Grilled Peach Salsa? Believe that sh*t.) Plus they're going to arm you with all the info and techniques you need to shop on a budget and go and kick a bunch of ass on your own. This book is an invitation to everyone who wants to do better to elevate their kitchen game. No more ketchup and pizza counting as vegetables. No more drive-thru lines. No more avoiding the produce corner of the supermarket. Sh*t is about to get real. Can't get enough? Check out the bestselling follow-up Thug Kitchen: Party Grub.

Review: Real review, trying to go vegetarian - i recently received this in the mail upon ordering. I have desertcart prime so i go ti t fast. Most of the reviews ive read before purchasing this book are mostly people complaining about the cursing, that they didn't know it was vegan and that the ingredients are too "fancy". so before i give my review i want to say to those people; who buys things without reviewing them?? and then complains about i t afterwards?? I mean the trailer and entire motto wrapped around this book is cursing. OBVIOUSLY its going to be cursing... how are you surprised? which leads me to another complaint ive seen which says they are offended by the term "thug". UHM, it isn't literally them supporting thugs.. its like a metaphor.. they are thugs in the kitchen, they toughen you up and motivate you in almost a boot camp sort of way. therefore they're they thugs in the kitchen telling you how to get that sh*t right.. Now as for the fancy ingredient complain.. one guy said smoked paprika was too fancy and hard to find... which is not.. at all.. it should be a staple in any cooks spice rack.. Aminos might be hard to find but i seen those even in low level market places and farmers markets or nurserys or co-ops.. health stores, nutritionists or a damn WHOLE FOODS! if you are motivated and want to change your diet you will find these and if you cannot then there's always online.. and how do you not know its vegan?? again, how do you buy a product...especially a COOKBOOK and not read detail info about it?!?! with all the gmo and crazy processes they're doing lately its surprising people aren't paying attention to minor details like that and then they complain about it like if the author set them up...*sigh* Now for my honest review; first Id like to say im Hispanic and raised with ethnic foods. Cuban to be precise. Much of the sides and Spanish dishes am familiar with and can use more spices and salt. but that's just my palette. If you are starting off on actual real food and moving away from fast food or just want to train your taste buds, these recipes are perfectly balanced! Many leftovers you can freeze for another time. They are delicious and i dont miss the meat. I do admit it takes prep time and cook time. sometimes i cook for 5 hours but im cooking like 3 different things plus dessert so its different. I'm trying to establish a routine where the most used items are already cutup and stored somehow for easy access.. perhaps when i do a week food prep. also lotsa beans in here which is awesome for slow cookers. I love the baked apple beans. I added 2 apples instead and its so damn good!!! you don't miss the meat at all... i do wish there were more recipes and more versatile breakfast ideas with more fruit but its still a good way to kick-start a detox or life style.. it weans you and really does motivate you if you don't mind the potty mouth. and from someone who curses a lot this isn't really a lot and its funny. sometimes i don't notice it. it truly speaks to me and it is educational as fu*k. definitely a good buy and a good read. not too exotic things on here that i saw.. i haven't tried their tempeh or tofu recipe but there really isn't much. Their sweet potatoes fried rice is also yummy and they have this peanut dipping sauce yum! you will have to switch up some of your spices and pantry items but that's what eating healthy is. Switching up what you've been raised to believe is healthy or even food. Think for yourself and bring your mind back to reality with real food and nourishment. Their grilled peach salsa is also yummy and i be putting it on everything. Some recipes i feel are missing something but maybe thats just my habits and culture that are used to different sides a big slab of meat. I feel like this would if anything be a good cookbook of healthy sides and good for introducing your infant to good food after their puree stage or even puree some recipes for baby. look up spices and baby food. make your own!! its cheaper and safer and more nutritious! Check out my pics!
Review: Tried the recipes - very delicious! - I purchased this cook book as a gift for my husband - he does the majority of cooking in our house. We are meat eaters but love good food of all kinds. This appeared under "people who purchased this book also purchased..." recommendations. I have to say, the beautiful photos of the food grabbed me, and I checked out their website to see what the recipes were like and loved it. The gangsta theme was funny but to be honest, now having made multiple recipes from this cook book (yes, I'm so enthused, I'm the one making most of them!), I don't even notice it any more. Good food is good food! This is a vegan cook book and obviously no animal products are used. What has turned me off from vegan recipes in the past (I have had to be milk protein free for about 12 months in my lifetime so have looked at quite a few), is the use of weird substitutes - vegan cheese for instance. The most unusual this book gets for substitutes is coconut milk, almond milk, and nutritional yeast (which you don't even really need in the recipes it is in). There are a couple tofu based recipes which we haven't tried and might just leave the tofu out of when we try. The recipes we have tried and loved so far have been Smoked Almond and Chickpea Salad Sammies (like a fake egg salad sandwich - very delicious), Sweet Corn and Green Chile Baked Flautas (yummy), Wedding Soup with White Bean Balls and Kale (I hate greens in soups and thought this was excellent), Cumin-Spiked Pinto Bean Dip, Baked Spicy Plantain Chips (spicy as advertised but really made enough for 2, not 4-6), Fire-Roasted Salsa (we thought this would be mild and were pleasantly surprised it was a bit hotter), Blueberry Walnut Lavender Scones (my one deviation - no lavender and thus I modified to make into Lemon Blueberry and turned out great - only made about 9 scones, not 12). We have many more recipes tagged to eat soon. I can tell you what we love: the photography, and that the food turns out as beautiful as their pics; the tastes - great flavors; not having to worry how well something is cooked or about cross contamination without animal products; easy to follow directions. What has taken some getting used: most of the "serves (number) people" have been close, but can be off a bit; fresh veggies and fruits take a bit more time to prepare to use in recipes (chopping) so prep times are longer than with our usual meals (and we cook from scratch almost nightly so we are pretty used to it); just because this is vegan doesn't mean all of these meals are low calorie (the scone recipe that I got 9 scones out of had 269 calories per scone (better than Starbucks though - they are ~440 per scone) and the wedding soup which legitimately serves 6 has 441 calories per serving (seems crazy, but I calculate my recipe calorie amounts using myfitnesspal and double checked that one a few times....); the one thing that irked us was a couple recipes have cooking spray used which seems so strange for a book full of fresh and healthy foods (we don't even have it in the house and used crisco instead (ha, not much better)). Maybe there is some vegan cooking spray we know nothing about. :-) As far as the language, people appear to have varying opinions - my take on it: if it's a gimmick, it worked and got me to purchase the book. I don't even notice it now because the recipes are so fabulous. Very pleased and am a fan of their website now - cannot wait to try more!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From an avowed NON-Vegetarian - you need this cookbook.
*by G***K on December 7, 2014*

Smoked Paprika. You need this. I s*** you not. Now ... First off, let me say I don't cook because it's fun and I enjoy it, I cook to eat. Growing up in a rural area, my Mom pretty much always used the basic seasonings: salt, pepper, margarine, and bacon grease. When she could afford to buy butter, she'd use that. I'll spare you the details, but we ate kinda poor. Simple, plain, filling, cheap. I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about. Things got better as us kids got older, and Mom expanded her repertoire by adding more herbs and spices, and somewhat better cuts of meat. That's how I learned to cook. I always liked it, and continued to cook the same way after I got married--to Mr. Pickypants McFuss-a-lot. (How did *that* happen?) Been married a long time, been cooking a lot longer and it gets boring, monotonous, tedious. I ask *him* what he'd like to have for dinner, and he invariably says, "Spaghetti" or "meatloaf." *sigh* You know what I'm saying. Despite him, I have tried to change it up over the years. Dropped bacon grease *years* ago. I really miss it sometimes. Um, yes. Thug Kitchen is a recipe book of vegan dishes. Don't be like my husband and sneer at me, "It's not going to work." {see me rolling my eyes?} Don't be stupid. I am not trying to turn anyone into a vegan. I am a card-carrying, dyed-in-the-wool, affirmed and declared Non-Vegetarian. Check the snippy, dogmatic attitude at the door. I've been cooking for a really long damn time (started back when my mother broke her back when I was about 10), and get sick of it. However, I rather enjoy eating (obviously). It's one of the few pleasures I have left. I don't cook for fun or because I like playing with food, I cook to eat. Unfortunately, I happen to like most of my own cooking. And chocolate. Anyhow, I saw the trailer/ad for this cookbook, thought it was freakin' hilarious, and pre-ordered one. ($14.61 for the hard back edition in October 2014. I love books, too.) When it arrived, I tried a few of the recipes, laughing through each one as I read them, and bought five more to give as Christmas gifts. Hell! I just read through it because it was so entertaining! One of the many things I like about it is it doesn't come across with that self-righteous, holier-than-thou, stuck up, I'm-better-than-you-because-I'm-a-vegetarian-and-you're-a-murderer attitude. The *only* thing that kept me from giving more as gifts was the explicit language. Which I find to be funny as H*ll, but other people could be offended. I kind of started to not care about that part. But then I said, "Screw it!" and bought four more. Anyhow, here's the tough part. For you avowed meat-eaters like myself, don't think of it as a vegan cookbook, crank back on the narrow minded, pigheaded-ness and think of it as a book of SIDE DISHES. I know, right? (Don't forget about the snacky stuff. Mm, mm, good!) Fry your pork chops and have some 5-Spice Fried Rice (page 68) on the side. Or, cube those pork chops, or chicken, or beef, and throw it all *in* the fried rice. Try to use your imagination. Like, I couldn't find arugula at the grocery store, so I substituted a mixture of spinach and arugula bag o' salad. Substitutions--you can do that. Radical idea. Speaking of pork chops, the Smoky Maple Marinade (page 77) is *so good*. So far, my daughter and I have decided that Spiced Chickpea Wraps with Tahini Dressing (page 32) is our absolute favorite. That stuff is delicious! I've made it several times and we tear it up. (I leave out the cayenne pepper for her.) Of course, the husband simply refuses to even try it. His loss, our gain. It means more for us! And I don't feel as if I'm a low-life cretin for using canned beans. You can use canned or cook your own. They give instructions for cooking your own, if it's that important to you. Novel concept, eh? I recommend doubling the Tahini Dressing right off the bat. Take a walk on the wild side and make the Pumpkin Chili (page 97). It would have never entered my mind to use canned pumpkin in that way. I was amazed. Of course, you could add meat if you like. It won't explode. I swear. Shoot! Go ahead and top it with cheese and sour cream, or slather it on your hot dog! Who can't use a little beta carotene with their nitrates? In some cases, I've had trouble finding a few of the ingredients called for in the recipes I've tried. (The writers make substitution suggestions, or you can substitute your own. Go figure.) There just *are* no Asian or other ethnic-non-whitish type, Non-American-ish markets here like some folks have in more populated areas; or the local grocery stores (there are two) just don't carry it. Like smoked paprika. Not a really exotic thing, but it's just not available in the stores here. Bought it online. LOVE it!!! On the Thug Kitchen website is a recipe for Frosted Gingerbread Bites. To die for! The husband did eat them, but I hid the recipe and got rid of the coconut milk can so he wouldn't see it and make those faces. He did not drop to the floor, curl up into the fetal position, and scream, "I'm melting. I'm melting!" (total Drama King. He got it honest.) 0_o As with other good cookbooks, there are tips, tricks, suggestions, lots of "how-to" instructions, and guides for what primary (and inexpensive) kitchen tools to have. There's even a guide for stocking your pantry with some basic items so you always have something to eat in the house (if your picky, fussy, meat-n-potatoes hubby will eat it). And no, I don't have anything to do with the cookbook writers or publishers, I just like it. Enjoy the book and the food you make. Eat some damn vegetables. Smoked paprika. I bought some here on Amazon. (McCormick 8.5 ounce for $12.99. Then I bought more of that deliciousness to give as Christmas gifts.) I'm just sayin'. Unlike some other delicate flowers, I am *not* offended by the book being written by white folks, even though I'm an old, fat, white broad who should *not* cuss like a sailor (but I do). I happen to be old enough to remember when "thugs" were just punks, bad guys, dirtballs, and hoodlums of any ol' variety or color. I *would* say that some of the colorful language is slightly overdone, but I didn't sit down and read the book cover to cover. I flipped through it, looked at the pretty pictures and graphics, thumbed through the index, scanned some recipes, etc., and have enjoyed it bit by bit. There is a table of contents. It's called "The Track List." Most of you will probably enjoy it, too. Rick - MizzRick - GeezerWench
