Forgive me for bragging a little bit here. But my brand new cookbook, Weeknight One Pot Vegan Cooking, is now available. And I think it's kind of awesome. 😉

It's packed full of 75 vegan recipes, that are all easy to cook up in a single pot or pan. So you can get a delicious meal on the table without spending all night in the kitchen.

Thug Kitchen is probably one of the most famous cookbooks out there, and has really helped to popularize vegan cooking.

So you are able to get really high end wine for very affordable prices.
