Summary

Brian Patton, a regular guy rather than a celebrity chef, began posting videos on YouTube as his witty, ukulele-playing alter ego, “the Sexy Vegan.” Celebrity status ensued. When Patton fell in love, he offered to prepare Friday night Happy Hours for his beloved. The result — as word of mouth spread amongst the couples’ friends — is the contents of this book: 25 parties packed with yamburger sliders, grilled asparagus and figs, green bean fries, rigatoni poppers, a variety of potent potables, and even morning after treats like rhubarb pancakes and mimosas. With the same user-friendly flair that led Vegan.com to describe Patton’s The Sexy Vegan Cookbook as “jam-packed with unfussy yet inventive recipes that anyone can make,” this is food — and fun — for Fridays and any day.
