Gaby Dalkin says: "Adam and Ryan make vegetarian recipes that are not only delicious but they'll satisfy any meat lover too!"

Molly Yeh says: "I love this book! It is truly impossible not to love Adam and Ryan and Husbands that Cook . Between the giggle-worthy headnotes and wildly craveable recipes, this is a book that you will use again and again, and all the while feel as if you are cooking with two great friends."

From the award-winning bloggers behind Husbands That Cook comes a book of original recipes inspired by their shared love of vegetarian food, entertaining, world travel--and each other.

Food has always been a key ingredient in Ryan Alvarez and Adam Merrin's relationship--and this cookbook offers a unique glimpse into their lives beyond their California kitchen. From their signature Coconut Curry with Chickpeas and Cauliflower, which was inspired by their first date at a shopping mall food court, to the Communication Breakdown Carrot Cake (which speaks for itself), these and other recipes reflect the husbands' marriage in all its flavor and variety.

Written with the same endearing, can-do spirit of their blog, the husbands present more than 120 brand-new recipes--plus some greatest hits from the site--that yield delicious results every time. Each entry in Husbands That Cook is a reminder of how simple and satisfying vegetarian meal-making can be, from hearty main dishes and sides to healthy snacks and decadent desserts and drinks. Ryan and Adam also outline common pantry items and everyday tools you'll need to fully stock your kitchen. Whether you're cooking for one or feeding the whole family, this book is chock-full of great creative recipes for every day of the week, all year long.

Booklist Review

From the popular vegetarian blogger couple comes a book of more than 100 recipes for soups, salads, entrées, sides, desserts, drinks, and condiments, along with items specifically recommended for breakfast and for entertaining. An introductory chapter lists the basic ingredients and tools required throughout; any other special tools are noted at the start of the recipe. All are vegetarian, and many have gluten-free and/or vegan options. As on the blog, each is prefaced by a short description (usually no more than a few sentences) from one or both of the husbands, recounting their experience with the recipe and its ingredients. Many of the recipes are inspired by the authors' travels, and although there are a few photos, those looking for more in-depth information about these places and cultures will need to look to the blog. More fully represented is their signature approach of tying their relationship to the process of making food and their assurance that cooking can be a fun bonding experience for any couple.--Anne Heidemann Copyright 2019 Booklist

Library Journal Review

Husbands That Cook began as a blog in 2015, mostly as an outlet for Alvarez and Merrin to share their favorite recipes curated throughout their relationship, beginning with their college days living in Merrin's cramped studio apartment. Together since 2001, they've since gained a following and offer here a colorful collection of favorite vegetarian recipes, many of which are also gluten-free and vegan. Inspired by their travels, recipes are sourced from all corners of the globe, from Cuba to the Galapágos Islands to a favorite local Italian bakery. All meals are covered, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free condiments, cocktails, and desserts. Most can be prepared with pantry staples and easy-to-find vegetables and ingredients, ranging from beginner to advanced. Conscious of small-kitchen cooking, the authors limit the use of extraneous kitchen gadgets. Yet there are no shortcuts here; everything is made from scratch and with love, and readers should note these are not quick-fix recipes. VERDICT Vegetarian chefs will find something appealing for special meals at home as well as entertaining.-Jennifer Clifton, Indiana State Lib., Indianapolis © Copyright 2019.
