Toriano Gordon, the chef behind Vegan Mob, grew up sharing soul food with his family and friends. When he began eating vegan after wanting to improve his health, he was nostalgicfor those childhood flavors, so he spent hours painstakingly recreating them from scratch.

In his first cookbook, he shares favorites from the restaurant as well as new recipes, inviting readers to try crowd-pleasing favorites likeBrisket, Smackaroni, and Mobba’Q Baked Beans. In an homage to his youth in the Fillmoe (not Fillmore)and his San Francisco and Oakland communities, he also draws inspiration from a multitudeof cuisines with recipes likeLa La Lumpia,Mafia Mobsta Noodles aka Garlic Noodles,Mob Lasagna, andMob Taco Bowls, all made accessible for the home cook.

Vegan Mob also takes you out of the kitchen and into Toriano’s life, highlighting his many family connections to the Bay Area and his connection to Bay Area rap and music. With inspirational advice from Toriano, vibrant photographs, and tons of energy,Vegan Mobis an invitation for everyone to come to the table and enjoy a meal together.
