What’s Cooking: Caribbean Vegan Feast

My friend Carla gave me a copy of vegan chef Rachel Ama’s Vegan Eats: Tasty Plant-Based Recipes for Every Day. Mind you; I am not a vegan, but I do appreciate learning about new healthy recipes. Many of the dishes are inspired by her Caribbean and West African roots.  What I like about her book is the simplicity of the recipes considering most great foods from the Caribbean and Africa tend to be arduous to make (in my opinion).  With that said, most of the recipes use accessible and natural fruits, vegetables and spices that will delight even a carnivore’s palette.

The American version of the book comes out August 1, which you can pre-order on Amazon’s website or at your local independent book store.

I have tried all the recipes in the following video – vegan mac and cheese and jerk lentils. They are wonderful!
