Santa’s Got to Make It.. with your Cookbooks!
If you want your family and friends to have their very own copy of the Kind Veggie Burritos Cookbook: Recipes for Traveling, Tailgating, Camping, and Home (and of course you do!!), don’t wait! The sooner you order, the sooner I can get it off to you!
Overflowing with fantastic, easy recipes, the one and only Kind Veggie Burritos Cookbook has grown and grown, and now has been a hit for over three decades!
Each dish is tried and true and guaranteed to make you feel good all over, in part because all proceeds from every book go to the Rex Foundation, the SEVA Foundation, and to vital relief aid in Ukraine!
Turn on to some Wintertime warmth with something cozy from the Sage and Spirit, Soup and Salad chapter (Gianine’s Rainbow Soup is so easy and is a scrumptious vitamin bomb!). Or spend some meditative time making our dear Rainbow traveler friend Frank Cook’s Bread for Your Head – delicious and therapeutic!
Rising First and Shining Best…
Kind Veggie Burritos is the O.G.: it was the first and still is the kindest collection of recipes from the internet, on tour, and of course, Shakedown Street.
As a compilation of road-tested recipes, ALL written by our own Deadhead family over the years, it features loads of dishes that are travel-friendly, or else perfect for home-cooked goodness. You can choose from Main Course Masterpieces, Munchies, Grateful Breads, and lots more! There’s even a recipe for Bubbles Wizardry and a teeny chapter of Meat As Well.
Other imitators have come and gone, but, we’ve been quietly, lovingly truckin’ along since before Jerry departed. So yeah, it’s the real deal.
Kind Veggie Burritos is available through mail order and this website only – not available on Amazon or in stores. There are no profits, no fancy media or sales staff, and no corporate trips.
Let’s cut to the chase, Beth! How do I order?
A Little Background
I cooked up this idea after one of those insane Spring 1991 Greensboro shows, when I was searching for something soul-satisfying to eat.
I bought an actual kind veggie burrito from a sweet sister in a ’78 van, and it was about the most scrumptious thing I had ever tasted.
Totally inspired, I decided to start collecting the great recipes I would run across on Shakedown Street, as well as from my tour family friends and also the Deadnet newsgroup (remember them?) and others on that new internet thing.
It took four years of work (and delicious research!) before I finally launched my self-published book in the lot at those beautiful 1995 Charlotte shows.
And well, I have to say — the Kind Veggie Burritos Cookbook was an instant hit.
Thanks to YOU, the Kind Veggie Burritos Cookbook of today has lots more recipes than that first slender little booklet and has found its way to the kitchens of some of our favorite people, like (the late) Donna Jean Godchaux, Bruce Hornsby, MG, David Gans, Andy Cohen, and many other celebrity kitchens.
It’s also hanging out in the official Grateful Dead archives, plus, of course, countless buses and tour packs around the world.
And wow! It’s even gotten super kind vibes from Natascha Weir, Bobby’s wife:
And then she made sure that my husband John (the KVB photographer) and I got in to the Chicago “Fare Thee Well” shows! Yeah – we were blown away! Thank you, Natascha!
But while these yummy dishes bring good nourishment for you and your family, you are also supporting three important foundations for people in need.
On March 23, we celebrated our 30th year, and ever since the beginning, I have continued to donate all proceeds from your purchase (after printing and postage) to the Rex Foundation and to SEVA, Compassion in Action. Plus, I now kick in five bucks per book for United24, Ukraine’s own relief program.
Made in small, Earth-friendly batches at my local printer, and shipped by mail-order with my love, Kind Veggie Burritos serves up real comfort food – tasty dishes that will nourish you, and bring good lovin’ to people that need your help!
