Vegan Cooking For The Soul

Vegan Cooking for the Soul offers over 65 vegan recipes that feature vegetarian, dairy-free versions of some of the dishes that my family and I enjoyed when I was growing up. Homemade biscuits, corn pudding, steamed cabbage and fried apples are just some examples of those family favorites that I warmly remember. Natural egg replacers for baking like chia seed meal and flax meal are used. Tempeh, tofu and jackfruit become the basis for satisfying mock meat dishes like BBQ, and 'ricotta cheese' is made using wholesome raw cashew nuts. You will also find dishes from other traditions like chickpea curry, and some interesting new twists on traditional favorites like sweet potato salad. Stories that accompany some of the recipes help to paint a picture of our family gatherings, both for everyday and holiday meals with stuffing, fresh greens with chow chow, rutabaga puree, sweet potato pie and string beans. Each recipe is accompanied by a special Food for Thought which offers some words of wisdom and inspiration for eating consciously. It is hoped that we all will be kind to animals, honor the earth and all creation, and that we will strive to make good dietary choices and pay attention to each morsel of food consumed. Eating with joy and gratitude, and sharing with others will make this world kinder, richer and more peaceful.

Innovative, animal-free recipes inspired by African-American and Southern cooking, from an award-winning chef and co-author of Grub: Ideas for an Urban Organic Kitchen.

100 vegan recipes that riff on Southern cooking in surprising and delicious ways, beautifully illustrated with full-color photography. Jenné Claiborne grew up in Atlanta eating classic Soul Food—fluffy biscuits, smoky sausage, Nana's sweet potato pie—but thought she'd have to give all that up when she went vegan. As a chef, she instead spent years tweaking and experimenting to infuse plant-based, life-giving, glow-worthy foods with the flavor and depth that feeds the soul. In Sweet Potato Soul, Jenné revives the long tradition of using fresh, local ingredients creatively in dishes like Coconut Collard Salad and Fried Cauliflower Chicken. She improvises new flavors in Peach Date BBQ Jackfruit Sliders and Sweet Potato-Tahini Cookies. She celebrates the plant-based roots of the cuisine in Bootylicious Gumbo and savory-sweet Georgia Watermelon & Peach Salad. And she updates classics with Jalapeño Hush Puppies, and her favorite, Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls. Along the way, Jenné explores the narratives surrounding iconic and beloved soul food recipes, as well as their innate nutritional benefits—you've heard that dandelion, mustard, and turnip greens, okra, and black eyed peas are nutrition superstars, but here's how to make them super tasty, too. From decadent pound cakes and ginger-kissed fruit cobblers to smokey collard greens, amazing crabcakes and the most comforting sweet potato pie you'll ever taste, these better-than-the-original takes on crave-worthy dishes are good for your health, heart, and soul.

Vegan books have risen to a dominant sales position in the vegetarian category. One-dish meals are perennially popular on American tables, and books devoted to one-dish cooking perform well. Robin Robertson's One-Dish Vegan is the first book at the intersection of these two powerful cookbook categories. Robin Robertson has built a publishing record of very successful titles in the vegetarian category. She is known for her creativity in the kitchen, for the breadth of enticing ingredients and flavors with which she works, and for her expertise in vegetarian nutrition - with a special focus lately on how vegans still can get enough protein in their diets. Typically, it takes two or three courses or dishes to make a well-rounded vegan meal. To meet this criterion in one dish takes the kind of ingenuity and expert knowledge that Robertson possesses. One-Dish Vegan contains more than 150 recipes. They range from the most popular categories of one-dish dining like stews, chilis, and casseroles (and other baked dishes) to a host of stovetop sautés and stir-fries as well as substantial salads and dishes that feature pasta as well as other noodles, such as Asian noodles. The recipes are at once homey and adventuresome, comforting and surprising. Above all, they demonstrate that it really is possible to get a complete vegan meal into one dish, full of good-for-you nutrients and bright, satisfying flavors.

More than 45 vegan and raw vegan recipes taste tested and approved by patients, students and friends of Opare Institute.
