Publisher's Synopsis
In Sweet Potato Soul, Isaac revives the long tradition of using fresh, local ingredients creatively in dishes like Coconut Collard Salad and Fried Cauliflower Chicken. She improvises new flavors in Peach Date BBQ Jackfruit Sliders and Sweet Potato-Tahini Cookies. She celebrates the plant-based roots of the cuisine in Bootylicious Gumbo and savory-sweet Georgia Watermelon & Peach Salad. And she updates classics with Jalapeño Hush Puppies, and her favorite, Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls. Along the way, I explores the narratives surrounding iconic and beloved soul food recipes, as well as their innate nutritional benefits-you've heard that dandelion, mustard, and turnip greens, okra, and black eyed peas are nutrition superstars, but here's how to make them super tasty, too.Pоtаtоеѕ are hіgh іn ѕtаrсh аnd hаvе dеvеlореd a bаd reputation duе tо the popularity оf lоw-саrb and Pаlео dіеtѕ.
