Call Me Vegan (Halle Burns)

Easy, delicious, and creative plant-based snacks from viral TikTok sensation Halle Burns a.k.a. @BalleHurns, perfect for full-time vegans and plant-curious, healthy eaters.

Halle Burns was still in college when she started posting viral videos about plant-based cooking on TikTok, and now millions of fans follow her for soothingly narrated content and easy, sharable recipe ideas. Since Halle was on a student budget at the time and often only had her trusty air fryer to do the actual cooking, she needed to become creative to fulfill her cravings in the simplest way possible.

Recipes had to be attainable and foolproof too, which meant using affordable ingredients, accessible in every grocery store. They needed to be quick to prepare using as few ingredients as possible, like her two-ingredient Tofu Dough or her Spicy Citrus Vinaigrette, which can be made in advance and used to jazz up any vegetable. And when you’re in the mood for carbs but don’t have bread in the kitchen, Emergency Bread can be baked in a flash in a microwave oven.

Now, Call Me Vegan offers even more essential, lifesaving (and time-saving) recipes for every occasion that you won’t find anywhere else. Her Snacks that Smack chapter includes Rice Paper Bacon Snack Strips, Kale Puffs, Crunchy Mushroom Crisps, and her spicy Angry Edamame. There are breakfast recipes like Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Bowl and Chunky Cocoa-Banana Stovetop Granola. Of course, there are main dishes too like Lasagna Roll-Ups, Mushroom Pulled Pork, and Cheesy Vegan Mac. There are also basics like Mixed Berry Chia Jam, Instant Plant Milk, and Tofu Cream Cheese, along with tips for stocking your pantry and essential kitchen tools—making this the perfect book for plant-based lifestyle newcomers and longtime vegans who are searching for easy ways to be more adventurous in the kitchen.
