New York Times bestselling author, comedian, and entertainer Mamrie Hart is back with her boldest project yet: All I Think About Is Food. This irreverent, vegetarian-forward cookbook is packed with over 100 mouthwatering recipes and cocktails that blend Hart’s signature wit with inventive, faux-fancy dishes.

Mamrie Hart reinvents vegetarian cooking with recipes that are as vibrant, clever, and unapologetically fun as she is. All I Think About Is Food serves up bold takes on comforting classics, like the smoky, spice-packed “Root-al Pastor” tacos and the perfectly crispy “Cauliflower Steaks with Peppercorn Bordelaise.” For those who love a touch of cheekiness, dishes like “That Butternut Be Bone Marrow” onion dip and “Sunday Celery Root” breaded roasts transform familiar ingredients into showstopping centerpieces. Every recipe is designed to surprise and delight, making it easy to impress your guests—whether they’re seasoned vegetarians or committed carnivores.

Big flavors, big laughs: Over 100 vegetarian recipes designed to bring boldness and humor to your table.

Bold design: Glittery pink page edges, jaw-dropping photography, and layouts that capture Mamrie’s one-of-a-kind energy.

Dinner party perfection: These dishes turn any gathering into a memorable event, whether it’s weeknight dinners, celebratory spreads, or cocktails with a side of chaos.

Mamrie also knows that no gathering is complete without a few drinks and a dash of whimsy. Her cocktails, like the effervescent “Saffron 75” and the tropical-meets-spicy “Peachy Keen Spicy Mezcalrita,” bring the same creative flair as her food. From snacks like “Ants on a Log Celery Salad” to indulgent desserts such as the decadent pretzel-based “Coffee and Cigarettes,” Mamrie’s book is packed with more than 100 vegetarian-forward recipes that make every meal feel like a celebration. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or just looking to spice up weeknight meals, All I Think About Is Food is your new go-to guide for unforgettable dishes with a side of laughter.

Mamrie’s Signature Cooking Philosophy:

All I Think About Is Food is as much about having fun in the kitchen as it is about creating incredible vegetarian dishes. Mamrie encourages readers to make recipes their own, whether by swapping ingredients, adjusting salt and pepper to personal taste, or finding vegetarian and vegan alternatives for traditional staples like Parmesan or Worcestershire sauce. As she puts it: “We’re all adults here—if you don’t like an ingredient, swap it! If you prefer cracked pepper by the fistful, go for it!” This easygoing approach ensures every reader can feel empowered to cook with confidence while embracing their own palate.

Mamrie’s fresh take on vegetarian cooking has already garnered rave reviews from some of the biggest names in food and entertainment:

“Food obsessives take note: Mamrie Hart brings a whole new vibe to vegetarian cooking. Dinner parties just got a whole lot more interesting.” -Jamie Oliver

“Cheers to Mamrie Hart for making a recipe book I can actually follow. One drink at a time.” -Chelsea Handler

“I love steak, dread socializing, and don’t drink alcohol. AND I STILL LOVE THIS BOOK.” -Richard Blais

Perfect for anyone who loves food, fun, and over-the-top celebrations, All I Think About Is Food is more than a cookbook—it’s an invitation to reimagine mealtime as the best part of your day.
