Ali Riley and Toni Pressley have accomplished plenty on the soccer pitch. Now, they've teamed up for a unique new off-field venture.
Riley, a defender for Angel City FC of the National Women's Soccer League, has collaborated with Toni Pressley, a former defender for the NWSL's Orlando Pride who now plays professionally in Iceland, to release a brand-new cookbook called "Girls Gone Veg," which features plant-based recipes designed by Riley and Pressley themselves.
It's an exciting venture for Riley and Pressley, who met back in 2020 as teammates in Orlando and immediately bonded over their love of cooking. The duo put their passions into action by launching their own "Girls Gone Veg" blog and cooking show, then took the next step by releasing their "Girls Gone Veg" book last month.
