There is no shortage of healthy food on the internet . . . aspirational blogs that are beautifully designed and elegantly written, in which a typical entry might recount a leisurely afternoon stroll to the farmers' market to pick up a bunch of organic kale. We think they are great, but let's be real: they are boring as f**k.

Thug Kitchen breaks the goddamn mold. With a shout-out from Gwyneth Paltrow on her Goop newsletter ('this might be my favourite thing ever'), millions of hits on their website and a 'best new blog' award already under their belt, the TK team has struck gold by providing delicious, healthy and easy-to-prepare recipes for everyone who's spent their life avoiding the lentil pushers but still wants to be kind to their body. With recipes including BBQ Bean Burrito with Grilled Peach Salsa, and Peanut Butter and Banana Muffins, Thug Kitchen is out to prove that you can be healthy and still be a total badass in the kitchen.

Not in front of the kids

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 October 2018

Verified Purchase

I wish I'd read some of the reviews before I bought this. First and worst, the swearing. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with the occasional bit of bad language but this really does take the mick. It's just constant and I found it really detracted from the topic. If you can't get your message over without this level of crudeness, then just don't bother.

Second, as it's American, the recipes are all in cups which is a pain to convert for the UK. If you can cope with that (and I couldn't), a lot of the recipes have ingredients that you just can't get over here or, if you can, they're hard to come by and expensive.

Bottom line - would you be happy for your kids/grandkids to read this? If yes, then you're OK but I wouldn't so I'm selling my copy here. Such a shame - the message has value but the method of delivery is bad.

The book itself is brilliant, no problem at all with that

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2018

Verified Purchase

The book itself is brilliant , no problem at all with that. It is very informative, funny and excellent guides to vegan cookery with fabulous recipes. My problem lies with the the format: the KINDLE version is terribly presented, it is almost like the pages have just been photographed and uploaded. I have a visual impairment and always prefer my books on Kindle as they are easier to read, however with this product, the text is blurry and exceptionally small : it can only be enlarged by a small amount and is therefore no good at all for people with poor eyesight. Real shame !

It's good, fun and exciting - but impractical and unfulfilling.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2018

Verified Purchase

If I'm honest, I've tried a few recipes out of this book and, frankly, they don’t wow me. It is naturally highly Americanised, with clear Mexican and Latin-American influences, but a lot of the recipes are fanciful, require specialized ingredients or are simply needlessly complicated or wouldn’t whet a large appetite.
If there is a once saving grace the enchiladas recipe is to die for, but whether that’s worth the price of the whole book is up to you. If you are more of a health-freak then this cookbook might suit you well, but for everyday cooking I avoid it like the plague and save it for those special meals. Even then there are other works, like Peace and Parsnips, that produce more exciting and bespoke food.

If you can ignore the obsessive cursing, this book is wonderful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 October 2019

Verified Purchase

Yes, it's true, this book is not for the faint of heart. If you dislike cursing, this book is absolutely not for you. I have no problem with such words, and yet there are times when I feel almost exhausted from seeing how the writers obviously felt the need to include at least one curse word per page. I mean, if it had been only when it made sense, it could have been funny, but if you go through and read page after page, you'll find yourself dizzy with all the eye rolling you'll do. I mean, it's just so sadly obvious that they felt they needed to include cursing for every single page and recipe. And I actually enjoy cursing! But even still, there's not always a need for it.

That bit out of the way, on to the recipes. I have tried a good many in this book, and they are all amazing!!! I love everything I've tried, as does my family. Personally family favourites- Mixed Veggie and Tofu Chilaquiles, the dressings in the salad sections (I often just use them for inspiration), Smoked Almond and Chickpea Salad Sammies, the tofu marinades (I've even combined parts to make my own), Pumpkin Chilli, Blended Earl Grey Lattes, Creamy Horchata, and the Sweet Potato, Squash, and Black Bean Enchiladas.

Fantastic recipes, excruciating writing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a fantastic recipe collection or people who're looking to reduce the amount of meat in their diet, those who're considering going vegan or even long-term vegetarians.

However, it's written in an incredibly tiresome way. The tone is enthusiastic but sounds like an embarrassing uncle trying to impersonate someone younger and more urban than they obviously are.

Skip past the laboured, toe curling forced swear words and out-moded street slang and you've a collection of genuinely tasty vegan meals.

Brilliant book for those transitioning to PB or vegan diets. Would recommend to be first book you buy!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 January 2018

Verified Purchase

Lovely lovely book with brilliant recipes. Would recommend to anyone transitioning to a PB or vegan diet, although I think the spicy tex-mex camp would also like. If the bad language offends you it is worth ignoring, I found it amusing as obviously can’t take that seriously. The recipes are excellent. It teaches how to put things together and things like simple sauces and techniques. I wished I had purchased this one when I first started being plant based.

An absolute, no-effing-nonsense must have for anyone who wants to eat better.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this and it sat on my shelf for a good year before I decided to really push ahead with my new plant-based eating regime. And I'm so glad I bought this first. Its simple, straightforward, no-nonsense attitude to eating, with great tasting and exciting recipes that don't cost the Earth, made the transition so much less daunting, and includes snippets of information to get you in the know, as well as novel and ingenious ways to prepare and cook tofu that makes it easier to handle and so delicious that everyone will love it. And I'm not IN THE SLIGHTEST BIT put off by the swearing. In fact, I'd say it was a breath of fresh air, since it sends out a positive message that healthy eating isnt just for the gentry. It's for everyone! And I'm a common-as-muck, working class mother, and this book really does speak my language! Rather than being offended, I find the writing extremely witty and easy to identify with, UNLIKE the other stuck-up vegan books I've made the mistake of buying since. SO IF YOU WANT TO EAT HEALTHY, ETHICAL, LOW-COST, PLANT-BASED FOOD, THEN THIS IS THE ONLY BOOK YOU NEED. And they also have a blog, which is useful, but I'll warn you now.
If you can't take a bit of swearing, then maybe this book isn't for you.
The only nag I have is that these guys are based in Los Angeles, and things like tomatillos and jicamas are nigh on impossible to source in the UK, at least around my neck of the woods.
Also, a lot of the recipes take some time to prepare, which I suppose is a tradeoff to the ready prepared junk I was feeding my kids, so I've simply had to adapt, be more organised and rope in little hands to help me chop and prepare the vegetables.
