For scrappy, can-do vegans on a budget, this essential cookbook eschews fancy ingredients and gets back to basics. It's packed with attitude and recipes anyone can cook and eat, including comfort food, healthy smoothies, holiday staples to feed your family, and dirty rice to feed the touring band sleeping on your floor. More than just a collection of recipes, this is a DIY cultural icon.

The book makes author Ashley Rowe Palafox’s long-out-of-print Barefoot and in the Kitchen zine accessible again, with spirited annotations and updated resources, so you can find plant-based, cruelty-free inspiration you need without needing to hunt through your co-op's crusty cookbook collection.

Because plant-based broke folks deserve good eats, too!
