Vegan Mob

More about the book

Toriano Gordon, the chef behind the Vegan Mob food truck, grew up sharing soul food with his family and friends. When he began eating vegan after wanting to improve his health, he was nostalgic for those childhood flavors, so he spent hours painstakingly recreating them from scratch. His innovative dishes became the backbone of Vegan Mob, a Bay Area original that draws in vegans and omnivores alike. In his first cookbook, Gordon shares favorites from the restaurant as well as new recipes, inviting readers to try crowd-pleasing favorites such as Brisket, Smackaroni, and Mobba'Q Baked Beans. In a homage to his youth in the Fillmoe (not Fillmore) and his San Francisco and Oakland communities, he also draws inspiration from a multitude of cuisines with recipes like La La Lumpia, Mafia Mobsta Noodles aka Garlic Noodles, Mob Lasagna, and Mob Taco Bowls, all made accessible for the home cook.
