Sweet Potato Soul

Praise

“This beautifully photographed, comprehensive work of Claiborne’s cuisine deserves to be a part of your everyday repertoire.”—VegNews
 
“Sweet Potato Soul starts with an Erykah Badu quote and ends with a recipe for pecan muhammara. Clearly, there’s a lot to love. The debut cookbook from beloved vegan food blogger Jenné Claiborne, Sweet Potato Soul offers vegan twists on soul food classics alongside memories of Claiborne flipping fluffy pancakes to the sound of gospel music in her Nana’s kitchen. Fittingly, a wonderfully comprehensive section on southern pantry staples devotes almost 6 full pages to sweet potatoes varietals. What looks good: Fluffy sweet potato biscuits, coconut collard salad, “Harlem caviar” black eyed pea salad, Creole red bean sausages, and jackfruit jambalaya.”—Bon Appetit

“Many traditional dishes are off-limits to a vegetarian or vegan, but the smart use of spices and other ingredients can bring them back within reach. This is just what Jenné Claiborne does so beautifully in her new book, Sweet Potato Soul. Claiborne brings Southern flair . . . to plant-based dishes. That means shredded sweet potatoes and pecans in her granola, coconut three ways (oil, milk and sugar) in her peach cobbler and oyster mushrooms in her étouffée. . . . I knew it was the real deal when my fiance, whose people come from Louisiana, took one bite and put down his spoon—so he could take a photo.”—Washington Post

“Jenné makes a vegan lifestyle look easy—not to mention totally delicious. Her tips and recipe roundups are super-practical for vegans and non-vegans alike.”—Rachael Ray Every Day

“One potato, two potato, give me all your sweet potatoes!! Jenne has crafted the best soul satisfying comfort vegan recipes.”—Chloe Coscarelli, author of Chloe Flavor and Chloe’s Kitchen

“We’ve all been waiting for this! Jenné Claiborne’s Sweet Potato Soul cookbook is an absolute dream for anyone craving Southern flavors and soul food classics. Hearty, inviting, and always delicious, Jenné’s recipes prove time and time again that stick-to-your-ribs eating can be completely plant-based!”—Sarah Britton, Holisitic Nutritionist and founder of My New Roots

“Jenné has done an incredible job of compiling all of her favorite vegan soul food classics in this stunning cookbook. Vegans and those curious about plant-based eating will love the beautiful images, recipes, and thoughtful narrative in this book. I can’t wait to dig in (especially to Nana’s Sweet Potato Pie)!”—Dana Shultz, author of Minimalist Baker’s Everyday Cooking
