For the Boys
The guys at my house are really happy I reviewed this cookbook. They're used to the lighter fare I often spring on them, and even enjoy it - but this book is filled with recipes right up their alley. Hearty, indulgent (-feeling), delicious recipes.
Delicious + Easy
They're also easy recipes. Sophia does a great job of walking the reader through, anticipating questions along the way. At times, the ingredients lists are on the long side, but they are ingredients that aren't intimidating and come together relatively quickly and easily.
Not Just Burgers and Burritos
Churros anyone? No seriously - there's a recipe for vegan churros!!! Also, there's a whole section of dreamy sauces (which totally makes a burger or burrito, if you ask me). And (drum roll, please): Sides, like Smoky Seasoned Sweet Potato Fries and Crispy Zucchini Chips. I really love this book.
As for burgers and burritos, here are just a few of the options:

FULL RECIPE FROM THE BOOK!
Smoky Tangy Cream
Sophia has shared a recipe with us from the book (yay!), and I love that it's very easy and versatile. I've used this sauce on all kinds of things! I especially like it for burgers, burritos (fancy that - Sophia knows what she's doing), and salads. I'd love to hear how you enjoy eating it. In the pictures, I've paired it with the Three-Bean Chili Burger from the book, and there's one shot with it on a salad of my own. De-lish. You can find the full recipe below. There's also a link there if you'd like to purchase this fantastic cookbook. The ultimate go-to for football feasts, summer BBQs, or everyday family meals.
Smoky Tangy Cream Recipe
from the cookbook, Vegan Burgers and Burritos by Sophia DeSantis
VEGAN | WFPB | GLUTEN-FREE | SUGAR-FREE | SOY-FREE | 30 MINUTES OR LESS
INGREDIENTS
-
1 cup (112 g) raw cashews (see note)
-
1 cup (240 ml) water
-
3 tablespoon (29 g) chopped red onion
-
2 tablespoon (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
-
2 medium-size cloves garlic
-
1 1β2 teaspoon (4 g) smoked paprika
-
1 teaspoon sea salt
-
1β8 to 1β4 teaspoon chipotle seasoning, to taste
METHOD
Put the cashews, water, red onion, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt and chipotle seasoning into a high-speed blender and pureΜe until smooth. Refrigerate the cream to thicken.
Note: If you are not using a high-speed blender, there are a couple of options for making your sauce smooth: You can use a coffee grinder to grind everything to a fine powder, or make sure to soak your cashews overnight, or for at least 2 to 3 hours. If you forget, you can also boil them for 30 minutes.
