Sweet Potato Soul
Sweet Potato Soul: 100 Easy Vegan Recipes for the Southern Flavors of Smoke, Sugar, Spice, and Soul | Jenne Claiborne
5 posts | 5 read | 8 to read
Jenn 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. The result? Her first cookbook, SWEET POTATO SOUL, offering 100 vegan recipes that riff on Southern cooking in surprising and delicious ways, beautifully illustrated with full-color photography. Jenn 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 Jalapeo Hush Puppies, and her favorite, Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls. Along the way, Jenn 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.

I hardly ever go to book stores (DANGEROUS!!!) but I needed Bleak House for a group read on GR. Thought I‘d check out Sweet Potato Soul, because I‘d heard good things, and I gotta say, it looks fabulous. Sweet potato pie smoothie? Yes, please!

BarbaraBB Good luck with the Bleak House. I‘ve been reading it forever and am almost finishing it! 6y
jillrhudy My Brain Berybridge showed up yesterday! 6y
Aimeesue @BarbaraBB Thanks! I'm reading it with fellow Anglophiles at Goodreads over the summer in small weekly doses, so it'll be easy AND fun! This is our tenth annual Victorian Summer Serial read. 6y
Aimeesue @jillrhudy The thought of Beryl showing up on your porch, suitcase in hand, made me laugh. "I'm her for the book discussion! Let me in!" ? 6y

I got this from the library - I tend to try cookbooks out before buying - and I‘ll definitely purchase this one when I get a chance. So many uncomplicated yummy things I want to make in this one!

MrBook Are sweet potato #TATERTOTS(!!!) in it?! 😳🤞🏻🤞🏻 (edited) 6y
CoffeeNBooks I do the same thing with cookbooks! 6y
Eyelit @CoffeeNBooks it‘s a good system, right? I‘ve been very lucky that my library is open to suggestions (they‘ve purchased about 75% of my requests over the years) letting me try out lots of cookbooks before buying 😄 6y
CoffeeNBooks @Eyelit Wow! That's awesome! 6y
Eyelit @CoffeeNBooks yes, I‘ve been pleasantly surprised! I get to try out cookbooks and put more veganism on the shelves 🤣 6y

Usually Wednesday means a pic of my coffeeshop avocado toast with whatever I am reading but today we have 'deviled avocado toast' a new menu item I sparked by showing the owner a 'recipe' for halved avocados filled with hummus. This one has jalapeño hummus, smoked paprika & parsley?& is being served with toast (& chips ?which was a request from another customer for lunch but which I think should be just toast-at least for breakfast). ...

DebinHawaii ...The book is a library e-book vegan cookbook I am looking through. I think this week's soup for #soupersundays will be the 'Cure-All Lentil' as I think I am in the beginning stages of a cold.😷🤧 7y
CoffeeNBooks That sounds so yummy!! I might have to make that soon! 7y
