Warm up with something kind…
Getting together with friends to reminisce and listen to some Bobby tunes? (Yeah, me too… 😢). Needing something warm and gentle to chase away Winter’s cold rain and snow? You’ve found it!
Welcome to the kindest, most loving cookbook you could ever wish for.
➡️ Kind Veggie Burritos is available through mail order and this website only – not available in stores! There are no profits, no advertising, and no corporate trips! ⬅️
Overflowing with fantastic, easy recipes, the one and only Kind Veggie Burritos Cookbook is your help on the way.
Each dish is tried and true and guaranteed to make you feel good all over, in part because all proceeds go to charity.
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 the road, 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 for over 30 years, we’ve been quietly, lovingly truckin’ along. And as mentioned, 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, just decades of love and Deadication.
Why Kind Veggie Burritos?
Every dish is tried and true, kitchen-tested, and guaranteed to make you feel good all over, in part because, after shipping and printing expenses, every penny is given away. All proceeds go to the Rex Foundation, the Seva Foundation, and to support the people of Ukraine!
So while you are relishing the good vibes you have helped to spread, you can nourish yourself and your loved ones with something cozy from, say, the Sage and Spirit, Soup and Salad chapter (Gianine’s Rainbow Soup is a scrumptious vitamin bomb!). Or spend some meditative time making our Rainbow traveler friend Frank Cook’s Bread for Your Head – delicious and therapeutic!
Believe It If You Need It, If You Don’t Just Pass It On…
Chock full of over 120 delicious recipes, they range from super simple to extra special.
The Kind Veggie Burritos Cookbook has some of the best and most loving recipes you’ll ever find. And while you’re at it, you can savor the sweet goodness of knowing you are doing good for others, which will nourish you, body and soul.
Because while these yummy dishes bring good vibes for you and your family, you are also supporting three important causes for people in need. For almost 30 years, we’ve donated to the Rex Foundation, and SEVA. And because of the ongoing war in Ukraine, I’ve been sending five bucks for every order to relief efforts for Ukraine.
That’s why this cookbook is guaranteed to be your most unique, tasty friend in the kitchen.

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 very delicious research!) before I finally launched my self-published book in the lot at those sweet 1995 Charlotte shows.
And okay, 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 happy homes in homes, celebrity kitchens, and tour packs around the world, including the late Donna Godchaux, MG (Carolyn Garcia), David Gans, Gary Lambert, Andy Cohen, and more.
It even got a letter of praise from Natascha Weir, since most of their family are long-time vegetarians AND philanthropists:
And then she made sure that my husband John (the KVB photographer) and I got in to the Chicago “Fare Thee Well” shows! We were blown away, and will always be grateful for that magical experience.
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, 2026 we will celebrate 31 years upon our Heads! And all this time, I have continued to donate all proceeds from your purchase (after printing and postage) to the Dead’s Rex Foundation and to SEVA, where Bobby was an Honorary Lifetime Member. Plus, five bucks per book goes to Ukraine’s own state-sponsored relief efforts.
Made in small, Earth-friendly batches at my local printer, and shipped by mail-order with good lovin’, Kind Veggie Burritos serves up real comfort food – tasty dishes that will nourish you, and bring just a little light to people that need your help!
