I got a new cookbook
May 9, 2010 – 3:26 pmIt’s Bryant Terry’s Vegan Soul Kitchen, and it is awesome.
Hubs got it for me for a birthday gift, despite our pledge not to buy anything that we’ll have to move. He thought it would go along nicely with the kind of cooking I already do naturally – take Southern cooking and make it healthy and veg. And, in reading through the forward material, I think I really like Bryant’s attitude. He doesn’t claim that veganism is a panacea; he basically says that it is what works for him and makes him feel good and he hopes it makes us feel good too.
Granted, I have been too busy preparing for our big move to SF, and selling half of our possessions on Craig’s List, and having yesterday’s garage sale (which was a cold, windy mess, but I made about $300); to actually cook anything out of it. Plus the fact that I’m trying not to buy many groceries that aren’t immediately useful, since I can’t move them. But, once life settles down, this book will be my cooking buddy for a while. We’re already salivating over recipes like “Black-Eyed Pea Fritters” and “Citrus and Raisin Collard Greens”. mmm.

the words “black-eyed pea fritters” makes my mouth water.
ps cold and windy garage sells are the worst.

I totally thought of you when they did his spread in VT a few months (a lot of months?) ago. Glad you’ve got it “in hand.”
Can you write about using Seitan? I’m hesitant, but it feels like the next horizon for me…
