Notes about Recipes in this book

  • General Chin's 5-star tofu delight

    • rdoose on March 09, 2026

      Very garlicky but delicious, and makes a huge amount, as all of the recipes in this book do. I didn't have orange juice on hand, so in a desperate measure I distilled some crystallized orange drink mix in water and it still tasted great.

  • Grit carrot cake

Publishers Text

The Grit, located in the quintessential boho town of Athens, Georgia, is known far and wide as the touring musicians' restaurant of choice. This classic cookbook features 150 of The Grit's most requested recipes, including 20 new recipes to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this famous establishment. True to its Southern roots, this hip vegetarian eatery combines soul-food sensibility with meatless cuisine, and while there are plenty of Italian, Indian, Mexican, and Middle Eastern favorites to satisfy the well-traveled vegetarian, the heart of this cuisine maintains the down-home, soul-food feeling of simple foods and classic combinations that are guaranteed to please.
