The Sexy Vegan’s Happy Hour at Home: Small Plates, Big Flavors & Potent Cocktails
by Brian L. Patton —
What started as a casual weekly tradition at the Patton household resulted in these 20 delectably diverse happy-hour menus.
From yamburger sliders, samosa pizzas and green-bean fries to rigatoni poppers and a variety of innovative cocktails, this is seriously fun food for Friday or any night.
In the book you will learn the ninja time-management skills of professional chefs to whip up snacking feasts in about an hour; make your produce procurement easier with handy-dandy premade shopping lists and concoct unique potent potables and lovable libations.
The recipes are divided into 20 menus, each with three or four recipes and libation suggestions. The dishes in each menu complement one another, using similar spices and overlapping ingredients, making the menus efficient.
Designed around specific themes, each menu has a unique twist but can easily be combined with other finger foods to provide everything you need to entertain vegan and non-vegan friends and family.
Patton has tested each menu and he offers ways for you to increase your kitchen efficiency.
Included with the recipes are shopping lists for making planning simple and QR codes with links to videos of Patton creating select dishes.
