The award-winning creators of the popular travel-inspired cooking blog Husbands That Cook, Ryan Alvarez and Adam Merrin have written their very first vegetarian cookbook! Cooking has always been a central part ofAdam and Ryan's relationship; from their tiny kitchen in Eagle Rock, CA, these inventive husbands are whipping up dishes inspired by their world travels and that represent significant moments in their love story. The book features photography by Napa's own Emma K. Morris!

Recipes include:

• Coconut Curry with Chickpeas and Cauliflower: Inspired by their first date at a shopping mall food court
•  Island Breakfast Bowl: To remind them of a vacation in Kauai where Adam injured his knee and still completed an 8 mile hike
• Communication Breakdown Carrot Cake: One of their biggest kitchen disasters
• Lemon Barley Soup: First made from fresh lemons grown on the tree that Ryan gave Adam for his birthday when they first moved into their home
• The First Kiss: Velvety cocktail inspired by their first kiss on a romantic autumn evening

With Husbands That Cook, home cooks can create fresh and savory dishes that Ryan and Adam have long been perfecting. Featuring brand new unreleased recipes, and a few of the most beloved favorites from the blog, the book is complete with stunning photos of each dish, travels around the world, and vignettes from their lives written with their trademark spunk and enthusiasm for life.

As more people are discovering the benefits of healthy eating and plant-based diets, these delicious recipes will delight vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike, including tasty options for vegan and gluten-free diets.
