Editorial Reviews
Review
“Lauren has absolutely nailed this cookbook. Vegans looking to up their cooking game, or those hoping to try plant-based eating for the first time, will be blown away at the creativity of these recipes. From basic sauces and doughs to the most delicious-looking veggie burgers and cakes, this book has it all. The photos and recipes don’t disappoint!”
—DANA SHULTZ, author of Minimalist Baker’s Everyday Cooking
“Lauren is a genius when it comes to plant-based cooking. Who would have ever thought that recipes like French Toast Coffee Cake, Mac & Cheese Onion Rings, and Stuffed Crust Pizza would be in a vegan cookbook! Hot for food has become my favorite YouTube channel and I’m so excited to cook everything from Lauren’s book.”
— JEANINE DONOFRIO, creator of the popular blog Love & Lemons and author of The Love & Lemons Cookbook
“Lauren is a renegade and hugely responsible for showing the world how incredible plant-based foods can be. Her out-of-the-box brilliance for vegan cooking is in a league of its own. Good luck eating any other vegan food after you try hot for food recipes, because it just does not get any tastier than this. This is basically a bible. Lauren Toyota is above the law.”
—JULIEN SOLOMITA & JENNA MOUREY/MARBLES, YouTubers
"I’m not vegan, and I do eat meat, but I rarely cook it at home. So I’m very, very excited to dive into this new vegan cookbook that is brimming with hearty meals that are vegan, but 100% comforting and satisfying. "

COLD CUCUMBER- CHILE NOODLES
Makes 4 to 6 servings
1 pound thick flat rice noodles
2 English cucumbers
2 green onions, white and green parts, finely sliced diagonally
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1⁄4 to 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
4 tablespoons chile oil
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. If your rice noodles already contain salt, do not add salt to the water. Cook the noodles until al dente, approximately 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the cucumber into ribbons using a vegetable peeler or slice very thin using a mandolin.
Drain the noodles, rinse under cool water, and place in a large bowl. Toss with the cucumber ribbons, green onions, sesame oil, sesame seeds (reserving 1 teaspoon for garnish), and 1⁄4 teaspoon of the salt (more to taste, if necessary). Divide among serving plates.
Drizzle each portion with 1 tablespoon of the chile oil (or use more sesame oil if you don’t want spice) and garnish with the remaining sesame seeds. You can also toss the noodles in only the sesame oil, salt, and sesame seeds, leaving the cucumber ribbons and green onions to place on top of the noodles in each serving. I think this looks prettier!
If you have leftovers, soften the noodles by heating them with a bit of water in a covered pan or heat in a microwave. Drain any excess water before serving.

This is a great cookbook that lives up to the awesomeness of Lauren’s Hot For Food Blog and YouTube channel. The title is perfect because the food recipes are exactly that: comfort food. What I love about it is that she managed to keep her same ‘voice’ throughout the written recipes as she does on the show. One of the things I love about it are the beautiful pictures. Thankfully, unlike way too many vegan cooks out there, she gets that a cookbook needs pictures. This is NOT a cookbook for vegans wanting to go on a diet and lose weight. It’s a cookbook for when you want to cozy up and eat something yummy that makes you feel good and to heck with the calorie count and fat content! I have plenty of vegan cookbooks that cover the healthy side. This comfort food was what was missing from my collection and it’s a must have for any vegan cookbook collection. In fact I bought two, one for my apartment and one for the weekend place because you can never have too many comfort food recipes at the tips of your fingers.

I have been a vegan since August 2017. I made the change without even knowing what vegans eat. I took to YouTube and Bam! Here is Lauren Toyota with hot for food! I immediately took to her personality. I loved the way she reacted to Food while chewing (Mmmmm....and omg) I was immediately drawn to her and her food. When I saw she was writing a cookbook I thought man, how could she top what she does on camera? Ahhhhh, she has further exceeded my expectations and my love for (vegan) food has grown!!! I can make amazing food for my non vegan friends but moreso for meeeee to enjoy! I have lots of plans to go through this book! So far I've made the breakfast sandwich and pile of waffles!!! Insane!!!! Lauren is a genius!!!! Get her cookbook!

After meat repulsed me during my pregnancy the family and I started a vegan lifestyle. Finding a cookbook is challenging, but even more so when you have a new style of eating. This is hands down the best cookbook I’ve ever owned, vegan or not. Everything I’ve made is so yummy and I’ve had to make zero modifications to the recipe to get a better taste. So far I’ve done about 8 of them. I highly recommend this book, vegan and no vegans will love all the recipes.

My first recipt was the oyster sandwich! The flavor reminded me of fried oysters but I was acutally eating fried oyster mushrooms. The texture of the oyster was consistent with fried oysters. The sandwich included lettuce, pickles, thousand island dressing and I added sauteed red onions. It was deliciious and I was satisfied. You gotta try this vegan cookbook. It was the second vegan cookbook I purchased so far. Maybe, I am a closet VEGAN!!! This sandwich was classic

ALL of the recipes found in this book can be found for free on the internet with minor alterations; some recipes can be found at the Minimalist Baker which they quote in the description on Amazon and on the inside cover of the book.
The major difference I've noticed in the recipes is the ones in the book include plenty of added fat, salt, and sugar. Nowhere does this book claim to be healthy; but, it's self-defeating buying the long lists of ingredients to only to load them full of fat, salt and sugar like they're preprocessed, manufactured food products. This highlights the author's lack of skill with using spices and technique to impart flavor. You could save money and time by buying factory made package food. Many recipes even require you to add pre-made "vegan cheddar cheese slices", "vegan butter", "corn tortillas", "english muffins", and buns that they don't provide a recipe for. I didn't and don't need a book to tell me what packaged food products to buy from the grocery store.
Buying this book you're paying more for the glossy pictures and binding than the recipes.
Lastly, this book was sold as "New" on Amazon, but came with stains on the inside cover, damaged edges, and bent corners.

I just here recently went vegan. While watching Jenna and Julien, I clicked on one of hot for foods videos, and oh my god I was shook. They have delicious and easy to follow recipes. One of my top favorite vegan channels. From there I found this cookbook, which looks amazing. Lauren Toyota is awesome, so I know this book is going to be too. The pictures are beautiful, and the book is made of a great material. Love it, 10/10 recommend.

So much great food in here that makes it easier than ever to switch to a plant-based diet and not miss any of your favorite foods. I’ve been making Hot for Food recipes for awhile now so I’m so happy Lauren finally made a cookbook with some new spins on her classics. I’ve had the book not even a whole 24 hours and I’ve already made two of the recipes. Here’s a pic of one of them (Southern Fried Cauliflower). Love the way the book is organized and the intros to each recipe are so funny and really get my palette ready for what I’m about to eat. Also the pictures are absolutely perfect and this is coming from someone who prides themselves in her food porn photography. All is all, great book! So excited to make to the rest of these recipes!

After watching Lauren’s YouTube Channel “Hot for Food” after becoming vegan, I realized how easy it is to make to switch to a vegan lifestyle. I knew her first cookbook would be the best and couldn’t wait fo it to come out. Thank you for all you do, Lauren. You are very inspiring!!

Perfect even for non vegans.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2018Verified Purchase
I love reviewing the stuff I buy from Amazon but I don't often do the books I read but this is one everyone should have or even better check out the Hot for Food youtube channel. Lauren Toyota isn't a rabid Vegan calling out meat eaters, she's just chosen this way of life for herself and if by her cooking she can change the way people look at veganism then I think she will be more than happy.
Not only am I not vegan I'm not even vegetarian but her way of cooking with basic ingredients makes them look so flavoursom.. Apart from the use of nuts to make creams and "nooch" aka nutritional yeast all of her ingredients are what any decent pantry should have in any case and if you wish then instead of using "vegan butter" or "vegan cheese" you can just replace them with what you would prefer.
I'm never going to stop eating meat but meat doesn't always make for a great meal and when you see all of the recipes in this book even meat eaters will be happy to give it a miss. But if you want to get an idea of her cooking then again check out her "Hot for Food" youtube channel.

Lovely book, useful recipes for sauces and cheese, but I'm really disappointed by how many recipes use soy in some form. For anyone who can't eat or wants to avoid soy, I'd give this book a miss.

This is not your 30 minute meal cookbook
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 15, 2020Verified Purchase
This is not for those weekday quick 30 minute evening meals and a lot of the ingredients lists are Yay long, so much so that I still have not reached for it yet and I am sending it to the charity shop.
I bought this book knowing it was comfort vegan food so that is not the issue. I have other vegan books which I purposely purchased for the health benefits, but sometimes I just fancy a little bit of stodge or comfort food. Well the book seems to have tons of lovely coloured pictures, and the methodology to cook them, however If I was that desperate, I can just pick up a ready meal from the frozen food section.
This is just not worth my cooking time becaue I fancy a bit of junk food.
I am in full time emplyment and a carer. If I am going to spend s much time in the kitchen, I might as well cook a healthy meal.

Great Recipes
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 8, 2020Verified Purchase
I love hot for food on YouTube and this book is a collection of some of the best recipes from Lauren. I have tried many of them. Only downside is not having the American cup measurements as I have had to add a lot more flour than the recipe suggests for the biscuits (scones) I have made them so much in my past that I know the right consistency so I keep adding flour until it forms a dough, however others may not know how to do this (beginners). I think the conversion is wrong. My only downside, but not going to reduce the review stars because the books brilliant all the recipes are tasty.

The perfect book for my other half who eats Vegan most of the time. This book helps to give ideas for the nights we want to feel like we are treating ourselves without having an impact on our lifestyle. It’s got loads of recipes in it and we can’t wait to start using it in the new year.
