A NOTE TO READERS
Every attempt has been made to confirm that the alcohol used throughout this book is either inherently vegan-friendly or produced in vegan-friendly forms by various brands. For more information on vegan-friendly brands of alcohol, please visit www.Barnivore.com . In reference to the sugar used as an ingredient in the recipes throughout this book, regular white, refined table sugar is often made using animal bone char and avoided by vegans. Therefore, where you see sugar used herein, you can use vegan-friendly granulated sugars, such as the Florida Crystals brand ( www.Florida Crystals.com ), or other vegan-friendly sugar substitutes of choice. Where a recipe calls for vegan margarine as a substitute for traditional butter, I suggest using the Earth Balance brand of buttery spreads ( www.earthbalancenatural.com ) or another nondairy, trans-fat-free, nonhydrogenated vegan margarine of choice.
Its time to check reality at the door! At least for the next hundred or so pages.
Im taking you to a place where having seconds never felt so good, and the only thing cruel about satisfying your hunger is running out of liquor before you finish mixing Tequila Seduces Guacamole or Three Tomatoes to the Wind Flan, or before you can indulge in a Noontime Quickie. You see, its always Happy Hour here in the Tipsy Vegan world. And everything you need to party is now right at your fingertips, whether youre getting home at the crack of dawn, power lunching, hosting a backyard blow-out or high-falutin dinner, or scavenging for the perfect midnight snack (in which case you should lunge for the Chocolate-Soused Strawberries or a little Bi-Curious Orange Sorbet). I know, I know: A lot of people think vegan food is supposed to taste like ground-up chickpeas and sand slathered on cardboard with a tofu chaser. Id like to see those silly naysayers tell that to the Hotta Frittata with Chopped Jalapeos or Bad-Ass Beer Cake with Bourbon Raisins & Amaretto Frosting! Whether youre a lifelong vegan, a newbie, an occasional visitor, or merely doing a little experimenting, together were going to transform vegan cuisine from mysterious and often misunderstood into eyes-rolled-back-in-your-head fab-u-lous. Thats right, gluttony is about to be upgraded from deadly sin to art form by the Tipsy Vegans of the world.
