Halle Burns (@ballehurns) was still in college when she started posting viral videos about plant-based cooking on TikTok, and now millions of fans follow her for soothingly narrated content and easy, shareable recipe ideas. Since Halle was on a student budget at the time and often only had her trusty air fryer to do the actual cooking, she became really creative to fulfill her cravings in the simplest way possible. Recipes had to be attainable and failproof too, and that meant accessible ingredients in every grocery store, not just in overpriced gourmet markets. They needed to be quick to prepare using as few ingredients as possible, like her two-ingredient Tofu Dough and Spicy Citrus Vinaigrette, which can be made in advance and used to jazz up almost any vegetable. Or when you're in the mood for carbs but don't have bread in the kitchen, Emergency Bread can be baked in a flash in a microwave oven. Now fans are begging for more, so Halle wrote a cookbook like no other.

With incredibly fun photography throughout, Call Me Vegan offers recipes for every occasion which you won't find anywhere else. Her Snacks that Smack chapter includes Rice Paper Bacon Snack Strips, Kale Puffs, Crunchy Mushroom Crisps, and her spicy Angry Edamame. There are breakfast recipes like Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Bowl and Chunky Cocoa-Banana Stovetop Granola. Of course, there are main dishes too like Lasagna Roll-Ups, Mushroom Pulled Pork, and Cheesy Vegan Mac. If you're reading these recipes and wondering how they can be vegan at all, then you're getting the idea of what makes Halle's cooking so special.
