The Inspiration Behind the Book:

Hello EdgyVeg family! I hope you have been safe and enjoying a flavorful palette during these past few years since COVID started. We have been impacted by so many challenges together as a community, with major life events inviting us to find new perspectives on our self-love journey, many of us picked up new passion projects during quarantine. For me, I have been working on my new cookbook dedicated to reducing time and saving money in the kitchen during these unprecedented times! As food prices are rising and our economy is heading towards a recession, we have to adapt to these changes by finding alternative ways to nourish our bodies in a price-conscious way.

I know that vegan food can come at a great price in some regions, but the more we demand vegan options, the more we are able to increase the production of supplies. Which inevitably causes prices to drop. More recently, studies have also found that a plant-based lifestyle is actually cheaper than an omnivore lifestyle. If there is any way I can contribute to the well-being of our society, is by providing affordable, nutritious meals that will never compromise your need for great taste.

Why You Should Purchase a Copy:

In this book, you will find 106 new recipes all under 45-minutes, from Breakfast, Lunch to Dinner, and Dessert, you will never run out of ideas on what to eat. The fun begins with recipes like the Vegan Krabby Patties to Lazy Lasagna and tops it off with desserts like Chipsy Marshellow Treats and Fancy Fall Charcuterie Board to satisfy your sweet tooth. These recipes don’t require any trips to the overpriced health food stores, but a quick trip to any local grocery stores with fresh ingredients that won’t break the bank. Fancy up your kitchen experience with an attitude and an edgy spin to all your meals this season. Enjoy your Easy Eats with a vegan twist!

Who Is This Book For:

This Cookbook series is created for anyone looking to integrate more fun and creative ways to celebrate their vegan lifestyles. Whether you are just getting started, have been a vegan for a while, or contemplating on making the commitment. Going vegan doesn’t mean you have fewer options, but diversifying ways where you can create more eco-conscious, healthy, and impactful decisions by cohabiting with mother nature. However, change is scary and I don’t expect you to go vegan right away, but taking baby steps is where it all starts. Check out my pro tips on how to go vegan for beginners to get started.

LOS ANGELES, April 12 – The Edgy Veg, creator of the YouTube series, recipe blog, and cookbook of “carnivore-approved vegan recipes” announced today that they have received the award for “Best Home Chef in a Series” at the 9^th Annual TASTE AWARDS in Los Angeles, California.  The award comes just after Chef-Creator Candice Hutchings published her first book “The Edgy Veg: 138 Carnivore-Approved Vegan Recipes” alongside her husband and co-creator James Aita.

Each year the TASTE AWARDS celebrate the year’s best in food, fashion, and lifestyle programs on television, in film, online, and in apps, radio and podcasts.

This year’s TASTE AWARDS Red Carpet Dinner and Reception took place at Chef Casey Lane’s Viale dei Romani in the new La Peer Hotel in West Hollywood.

“We are honored and humbled to be recognized by the TASTE AWARDS and are so happy that vegan food is becoming more and more mainstream”, said Edgy Veg Chef-Creator Candice Hutchings.  “It gives us even more motivation to create tasty new vegan recipes for the world to enjoy. Our goal is to make easy vegan recipes that carnivores, vegetarians, reducitarians and vegans alike can enjoy and that remind them of the food they grew up loving.”

VegNews interviewed the Edgy Veg for a feature in their magazine:

“Cookbook author Candice Hutchings wants to eat vegan butter chicken every day—and, now, so do we.

Canadian YouTube personality Candice Hutchings—otherwise known as “The Edgy Veg”—is on a journey to revolutionize vegan food. To accomplish this goal, Hutchings wrote a cookbook called The Edgy Veg: 138 Carnivore-Approved Vegan Recipes (released Monday on Robert Rose) that repurposes familiar meals through a cruelty-free perspective. Highlights include Veggs Benny, New England Glam Chowder, Pizza Pops, and Bacon-Wrapped Scallops, but it’s Hutchings’ “This is Takeout” Butter Chicken recipe that she says she’d eat every day for the rest of her life. We spoke to Hutchings to ask how she became a viral sensation and why it’s important for her to make food that both vegans and meat-eaters will love.”  – VegNews
