Recreate The Lucky Taco's famously fresh, authentic and delicious dishes with the help of The Lucky Taco Cookbook.
We got together for another Penguin Supper Club to test a selection of recipes from The Lucky Taco Cookbook! Here’s what we made…
RAUNCHY CAULI TACOS (PAGE 113)
A flavourful recipe perfect for vegetarians and vegans, but even carnivores will devour this garlicy, smokey, spicy goodness! Don’t forget to add the toasted pepitas, they add a great nutty crunch to this taco.
MAKE THIS RECIPE!
LUCKY CHICKEN TACOS (PAGE 89)
This is one of The Lucky Taco Foodtruck's most popular tacos, and for good reason. A great crowd-pleaser for a dinner party or a weeknight meal. This recipe is simple, delicious and very adaptable – even the pickiest of eaters will love these Lucky Chicken Tacos which are sure to become a recipe staple.
THE 'RICHENDA' (MUSHROOM) QUESADILLA (PAGE 129)
Quesadillas are the ultimate comfort food. For something so easy to make, the results are just so delicious. Yet another great recipe for vegetarians, these quesadillas are ideal for sharing and are bound to be a popular party pick. They could also even be meal prepped for work lunches - all you need to cook them is a sandwich press!
CHILLI CHOC MALT TART (PAGE 192)
Chilli and chocolate will always be a winning combination, and the addition of Maltesers makes a good thing even better. The real star element of this dessert though is the choc pastry. Buttery. Chocolatey. Ridiculously moreish. If you’re not keen on making pastry by hand, trust us, for this it’s worth it!
The Lucky Taco Cookbook brings fun, bright, and fresh dishes to your kitchen. It is extremely comprehensive with recipes for every sauce and addition needed, which is perfect if you enjoy making things from scratch. If not, don't worry – the recipes are highly adaptable, and it’s easy to substitute the home-made sauces for storebought.
It’s also very versatile, with recipes that will make great additions to the weeknight dinner roster, alongside recipes impressive for entertaining. Sarah and Otis have even created menu suggestions using recipes from the book, such as their winter soiree menu (page 69), great for if you want to host a taco party but are feeling overwhelmed about menu decisions!

This was originally called Crunchy Cauli. But one day, after Otis had written up the blackboard menu, a customer must have leaned up against it and smudged the ‘CR’ — so now it looked like ‘RA’. Nek minnit, a customer asked us what Raunchy Cauli was. And the name stuck.
