I’m so grateful to the thousands of you who have already pre-ordered my new cookbook, Big Vegan Flavor!!!
Preorders are so incredibly valuable for authors—they signal to retailers and media outlets that people are excited about the book. This, in turn, ensures that the book gets stocked on shelves and gets covered by the media.
To say thank you to everyone who pre-orders my new cookbook before it’s officially published on September 3, I’ve created an incredible package of bonus content. I worked really hard to make this content super high-value, and I think you will love it! Plus, you won’t find it anywhere else.
The bonus package features four amazing guides, which I’ve detailed below.
If you’re new here, Big Vegan Flavor is my new cookbook! But it’s not your ordinary cookbook. At 600 pages, it’s full of tips and techniques to help you master vegan cooking, complete with 150 recipes (almost all of which are brand new!). Read more about the book and pre-order your copy here.

First up, a gourmet, 7-course dinner party menu filled with unbelievable Indian-inspired dishes (and it includes the recipe I’ve been asked for the most over the last several years: Vegan Butter “Chicken”!).
Each of these recipes is terrific in its own right, but if you want to throw the best dinner party in the history of dinner parties, the menu includes a complete timeline so you know exactly what to prep when for a fabulous, low-stress party.
- Welcome Snack—Sticky Spiced Cashews. I’m not exaggerating when I say that these savory, salty, sweet clusters of Indian-spiced cashews are the best snack I’ve ever had.
- Welcome Drink—Watermelon-Lime Spritzer. This refreshing number works great as a mocktail, or you can easily turn it into a cocktail.
- Appetizer—Crispy Spiced Corn Fritters. Sweet-spicy-salty, generously spiced crispy fritters with fresh corn…I mean, how can that not be good?
- Main Dish—Vegan Butter Chicken. A vegan spin on the Indian restaurant, this one is ridiculously luxurious and creamy, and worth making even if you don’t make the full menu; get a sneak peek of it here). You’ll also get access to a step-by-step YouTube video for this recipe!
- Side Dish 1—Mango Kachumber Salad. Kachumber salads are served as a fresh counterpoint to the bold flavors in Indian main dishes. This version features buttery avocado & sweet mango, yum!
- Side Dish 2—Cucumber Raita. The dreamiest yogurt dip featuring spices, garlic, and an irresistible Indian tadka (spiced oil) poured over the top.
- Dessert—Chocolate Chai Mousse Tart. A rich, no-bake chocolate mousse-like filling sits in a buttery, slightly crumbly tart crust studded with warming chai spices.
The next freebie in this package is my ultimate vegan grocery list. I originally included a version of this in my cookbook, but had to cut it out for space reasons so I’m delighted I still get to share it with you.
In this guide, you’ll discover my must-haves from the grocery store, categorized into different sections: everything from fresh produce and proteins to condiments and baking supplies. This is THE grocery list if you want to make incredible-quality plant-based meals at home.
Plus, I reveal my favorite vegan products from Trader Joe’s, Costco, and H Mart (a mega Korean grocery store that sells tons of amazing East Asian groceries).
Part 3: Indian Spice Starter Kit
For many years, I’ve been asked to share an Indian spice “starter kit” with the essential spices you need to cook Indian food. And it’s finally here!
The guide is split into two levels: Level 1 for all the most fundamental spices you need, and Level 2 for more advanced home cooks who are ready to expand their spice horizons even more.
The guide not only includes the name of the spice, but also its flavor profile, tips for using the spice, and substitutes where appropriate.
Keep this guide handy and you will be well on your way to mastering Indian cooking!
Part 4: Vegan Dinner Party Guide
Have you ever wanted to host a dinner party but found it a bit daunting? This comprehensive guide has all the details you need to host a fabulous dinner party that seems effortless and will have your guests crowning you best host ever.
It’s the perfect accompaniment to the 7-course dinner party menu also included in this bonus package.
You’ll get tips for picking an outstanding menu, prepping ahead of time, conquering your grocery list, and hosting the best-ever dinner party.
