Pre-orders are open for Chef Makini's new cookbook
We’re thrilled to announce that Chef Makini’s new cookbook is now available for pre-order! Packed with over 140 delicious and satisfying recipes, Makini has worked tirelessly to offer approachable and user-friendly vegan cooking to everyone. From practical tips (“Stocking Your Kitchen for a Plant-Based Life,”) to recipes for every meal (and snacks in between!), and an entire chapter dedicated to kid-friendly recipes, Simple Goodness will take you from pantry to plate with confidence, making it the perfect staple for all ages, life stages, and skill levels.
Simple Goodness is more than a cookbook, it’s a tribute to the warmth and care found in sharing homemade food and embracing a plant-based life, one simply good meal at a time.

"Artful upscale dishes take vegan cuisine to its greatest potential, and can even impress a carnivore at chef-owner Makini Howell’s Capitol Hill bistro. With an airy atmosphere of chic sophistication and fine service, it’s the spot for a classy date." — Zagat
"Plum Chopped has the function of a food truck but the design of a restaurant. The elements are simply and precisely placed. The composition best captures the spirit of Liz Dunn’s Chophouse Row." — The Stranger

"Great service and interesting flavors, including many vegan options! The ice cream was unique and fantastic. The ambiance was pretty much like we were in someone's kitchen, which made it feel like home" — Customer Review
"From the same management of Plum Bistro, Plum Pantry is the casual version. My vegan partner is hard to please; but we both celebrate this place, and it's adventures in eating. We are especially glad for it's location, where extra-healthy food is harder to find!" — Customer Review
"Oh my lanta! The Buffalo Portobello burger is the best burger I’ve ever had! The sauce was delicious, it’s so much better than any vegan veggie patty you’ll get at Red Robin’s or Johnny Rockets. The price of $10ish might seem a little steep at first but it is so worth it. Caution though that it definitely will set a high standard for all other vegan burgers you’ll have in the future!" — Customer Review
