There will be 100 recipes for dishes that are "exciting, healthy, [and] vegan." This means party-friendly dishes like deviled chickpea bites and Mexican lasagna. There will also be cocktail recipes "because sometimes these parties need a pick-me-up of the liquid variety." Published by Rodale, the book will hit shelves October 13.
