Every time you drop into a burrito joint on your way home from work, you feel illicit.

To stay out of trouble, pick up Cook SF’s heat-and-serve gluten- and dairy-free soups and entrees the next time you’re in one of your favorite specialty stores.

The local company uses the same principles that made its subscription-based meal service a hit. Meals are cooked from scratch, with roasted veggies and slow-simmered stocks for layers of flavor. And they’re hearty, so you won’t believe they’re vegan: Soups (like a silky carrot ginger or zucchini dotted with poblano chile) use rice milk for their creamy texture, while entrees (a zippy all-bean chili and Thai green curry with chunks of tofu) are satisfying alone, but extra filling with a side of brown rice.

And because they take only minutes to warm on the stove, you can tell your friends you spent hours chopping and simmering. Just make sure to destroy the evidence.

Available at Cal-Mart, 3585 California Street, between Laurel and Spruce Streets (415-751-3156); Good Life Grocery, 1524 20th Street, between Missouri and Connecticut Streets (415-282-9204). For additional locations and information, go to cooksf.com.
