Product Information

Zoe's immaculate balance of tastes combined with playful presentation ensures these are recipes to remember for those willing to explore broader, more environmentally responsible horizons. I grappled with the ideals placed on me to live up to just because I was born into a body that the world had already determined would function in a certain way. The bowls of soups and sweet morsels of pounded yam that would be had for dinner, stories of mushrooms being the food of divine beings, and practicing meatless fasts.

With more than 100 modern and delicious dishes that draw on Terry’s personal memories as well as the history of food that has traveled from the African continent, Afro-Vegan takes you on an international food journey. There have been harmful practices such as the famed killing of twins, burying of virgins, vaginal cuttings, and other vile forms of violence that we have practiced and no longer do.Last year, I found myself on the phone with Bryant Terry, the chef-in-residence at the Museum of the African Diaspora and author of the 2014 cookbook, Afro-Vegan, for a story I was working on at Fast Company. Choose from entrees, sides, lunch items, desserts and drinks to get your creative juices flowing in the kitchen. Instead, Terry said, the only way to achieve food security in communities of color is for the people in those neighborhoods to take their fate into their own hands by opening their own co-ops, urban farms, and community gardens.

There’s perfect potluck fare, such as the simple, warming, and intensely flavored Collard Greens and Cabbage with Lots of Garlic, and the Caribbean-inspired Cocoa Spice Cake with Crystallised Ginger and Coconut-Chocolate Ganache, plus a refreshing Roselle-Rooibos drink that will satisfy any sweet tooth. I’ve thought a lot about that conversation in the almost year and a half since, and I’ve followed Terry almost religiously.
