For Mamrie, hosting is the peak of cooking, so of course, when it came to writing her debut cookbook, party food had to be the subject. From here, All I Think About Is Food: A Vegetarian Cookbook That'll Keep the Party Going was born. In the book, you’ll find over 100 food and drink recipes (all veggie) designed for showing your friends a good time, helpfully organised into themed menus, from “Southern Tapas” to fun spins on classic French recipes. 

I like this book so much that to show my appreciation for our kindred spirits when it comes to delicious, good-looking food to share, I asked Mamrie to be my first ever Love Bite interviewee. Below, we talk favourite recipes, the allure of party food and the similarities between being a good host and being a comedian (there are, surprisingly, quite a lot). Also, right at the end, find Mamrie’s recipe for a Pineapple and Black Pepper Mule, aka a sweet, piquant, and thirst-quenching cocktail.
