Vegan Soulfood!, May 18, 2007
This review is from: The New Soul Vegetarian Cookbook (Paperback)
This is one of the few (literally!) vegan soulfood cookbooks in existance.
It is from the famous Soul Vegetarian restaurants run by the Black Hebrew Isrealites. This is a popular and world-wide restaurant chain - restaurants in Chicago, Atlanta, DC, Charleston to name a few and others in the Virgin Islands and Ghana.
This book will show you how to have great tasting soulfood without the meat and animal products.
Not all of the recipes are 'super healthy' (think vegan margarine)but they are a transition step for those interested in vegetarianism/veganism and alot healthier than the regular versions!
Color pictures included.

The BEST vegan cookbook, November 25, 2009
This review is from: The New Soul Vegetarian Cookbook (Paperback)
The mac & cheese recipe here is *Amazing* it's not exactly like cheese - but it's creamy and rich and well flavored. Their gravy recipe is superb too - I am making it for thanksgiving tomorrow, and I am super excited to have it again. I like their BBQ twice too - but BBQ sauce is way too sweet for me so I substitute my own concoction.
One caveat - the recipes often refer to other recipes - so you'll see things like "1 cup of soy butter" and think 'gross!' what they mean is not 1 cup of soy garden, but a cup of their own silken tofu/oil mixture. They don't make it completely obvious when they do things like that, so a good rule of thumb is that their recipes don't call for any 'fake' products so when you see soy butter, soy cheese, etc. go look for the recipe.

The New Soul Vegetarian Cookbook, December 19, 2011
This review is from: The New Soul Vegetarian Cookbook (Paperback)
We found the cookbook an excellent resource thus far. We would like to see more 'live' recipes however. We are moving from vegetarian to vegan - no meat or diary. I would highly recommend this cookbook for anyone truly determined to enjoy a healthy, productive and long life. Meat is a killer IMHO. Peace and blessings.
