Vegan Soul Kitchen by Bryant Terry
February is Black History Month in the United States and Canada and what better way to celebrate than by highlighting black individuals setting an example by making healthier choices for animals, the planet and themselves.
Bryant Terry is a food activist, chef and the author of Vegan Soul Kitchen: Fresh, Healthy and Creative African American Cuisine.
His writings and recipes have appeared in eco-themed magazines like Vegetarian Times and Yoga Journal, but he has also garnered mainstream attention in the New York Times and Food and Wine.
Vegan Soul Kitchen takes the heart of African and Caribbean cuisine and gives it a lighter carbon footprint by removing animal ingredients from recipes such as Cajun-Creole-Spiced Tempeh Pieces with Creamy Grits and Sweet Cornmeal-Coconut Butter Drop Biscuits.
Although he completed a program at the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts, Terry emphasizes he’s a self-taught foodie.
During an interview with EatDrinkBetter, Terry said:
“Growing up in Memphis, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen with my grandparents observing them and helping out as much as possible. From early I was picky about what I ate (and everything else), so I started preparing my own meals with fastidious attention, teaching myself as I went along. Studying at the Natural Gourmet Institute refined my culinary skills.”
