Vegan Soul Kitchen by Bryant Terry
Vegan Soul Kitchen recipes use fresh, whole, high-quality, healthy ingredients and cooking methods with a focus on local, seasonal, sustainably raised food. Terry's new recipes have been conceived through the prism of the African Diaspora, cutting, pasting, reworking, and remixing African, Caribbean, African-American, Native American, and European staples, cooking techniques, and distinctive dishes to create something familiar, comforting, and deliciously unique. Reinterpreting popular dishes from African and Caribbean countries as well as his favourite childhood dishes, Terry reinvents African-American and Southern cuisine, capitalising on the complex flavours of the tradition, without the animal products. Order a copy here.
