It's no secret that I'm a Southerner who loves to indulge in soul food. It's often thought of as fried, fatty deliciousness that's nowhere near being good for you. Most of the time this is true, but it doesn't have to be, and Chef Bryant Terry is here to help you enjoy the healthier side of soul food.
Last month, Terry released Vegan Soul Kitchen: Fresh, Healthy, and Creative African-American Cuisine, which features 150 recipes inspired by African-American and Southern cooking (aka "soul food"). Unlike many stereotypical soul-food dishes, the recipes in Vegan Soul Kitchen call for healthy ingredients and use healthy cooking techniques, and they're still loaded with flavor.
Now is your chance to win one of two free copies of this new cookbook! Just leave a short comment below telling me about your favorite soul-food dish, and please keep it vegan-friendly. Two winners will be chosen at random.
The contest ends on April 30, and we'll contact the winners by May 5. Be sure to read our privacy policy and terms and conditions, as you're agreeing to both by commenting. Good luck!

Best soul food dish? Well this might sound boring but I'd just say it's cornbread. There is nothing delicious than fresh, hot, buttery cornbread... especially when it's all vegan... can't get enough!

I love mashed sweet potatoes with pecans. Also, I love organic collard greens with soul seasoning, MINUS MEAT, of course, black-eyed peas/black beans and rice, and vegan version of southern biscuits. This cookbook would be a greatly interesting asset to my collection. :-)

"BBQ" bean dip with vegan burger crumbles and corn. Just use whatever spices/herbs you've got around, a little brown sugar, some ketchup (yes,really), a touch of spicy mustard and hot sauce. Put the beans, corn and flavorings in a pot with a little water and heat it til it boils. Turn off the heat, smash it up a little with a fork or potato masher, then add the frozen crumbles if you want a little more texture. Let that sit for a few minutes to heat up the crumbles. (make sure you use a brand of crumbles that's heat & eat) Eat it with tortilla chips. Its sweet, spicy, and downright good. And its easy to adjust amounts. You can guesstimate ingredients according to what flavors you like more or what heat level you prefer. Any veggies you want can be added in, and it can just as easily be made in a big batch as an individual one. Enjoy!

My favourite soul food dish came from my first experience of soul food. Arriving in LA from Australia, I had the pleasure of visiting Native Foods where I fell in love with their Soul in a Bowl, but what really made the meal divine was the cornbread that I got with it. It was my first time trying cornbread and I fell in love with it and soulfood.

I love soul food. It never fails to leave me feeling warm and full. My favorite soul food dishes would have to be biscuits and gravy or hoppin' john. I could eat both of those for the rest of my life and be completely happy.

Sweet potatoe pie! When I win the book, I hope to find a great recipe for that and all the other soul food I no long eat since becoming vegan! Not that I was a soul food chef to start with. My ex sister-in-law is the great soul food cook. Maybe I can change a few minds with a healthy soul food feast that doesn't have "drippins, hamhocks, or chittlins." YUCK!

I LOVE red beans & rice and cornbread! DELISH! Thanks to PETA, my son (who is 8 years old) and I have become vegetarian. It has made us more conscientious. I'm looking for new recipes to try all the time because it is difficult having been raised on a meat-based diet and being in a meat-based culture. I would be very grateful if we won the cookbook.

My husband created a dish for the BBQ. It's sliced potatoes, Onion chunks, seasoning, butter and some water in a foil dish. You put it on the BBQ while you cook your other veggies. It takes about 20 minutes, and is so delicious.

My daughters (ages 9 and 12) and I eat vegetarian and we have had to adjust our favourite southern dishes to suit our needs. I make a great veggie chili with toasted whole grain pita on the side. A few others we enjoy are veggie stew with brown rice and green tomato bake.
Would love this cookbook for more ideas. We can still enjoy southern foods and feel good about ourselves. And I am giving them the tools to prepare them for when they are adults and wish to carry on this healthy lifestyle.

I make an old school Red Rice Purloo only I use veggie 'sausage' and veggie broth. I start out by sautéing red and green peppers, onion, celery, garlic, then eggplant. That all goes into the bottom of a casserole dish that is topped with two cups un-cooked rice that's been sautéed in peanut oil, then layer on the 'sausage'. I saute okra and add red wine and reduce down, then add veggie broth and a few spices, pour over entire casserole and cover tightly, then bake at 350 for over an hour. Ridiculously good! Just like Aunt Linda used to make... only better!

Definitely a book my husband might like. He's not vegan, but he's slowly coming around as I find new recipes, or ways to change his favorites that keeps him interested. One of our favorites is taco soup. Originally with ground beef and hominy corn, I substituted morning star crumbles for the beef, sweet yellow corn for the hominy, and added sautee'd bell peppers in three colors. The combination of taco seasoning and ranch seasoning gives it an interesting flavor, and over all he hasn't missed the beef once.

I love soul food! I grew up eating great southern food, but have run into some road blocks with soul food since I gave up meat. I love being a vegetarian and this book would help me with those great recipes I ate as a kid modifed to suit my lifestyle as an adult!

As a child, born in 1959 I was forced to eat meat. If I didn't I had to sit at the table for a couple of hours, then the plate was placed in front of me the next night. I usually waited for four days. I stuffed myself with vegetables and water. When my parents began to notice I would eat everyones vegetables they started to lay off. Tofu, Asparagus, salt, pepper, mushrooms, bake it with the tofu on top.

I love okra, a great vegan way that my dad makes it is to cook it with tomato paste, olive oil and onions until it is soft and falling apart. I've never eaten this with cornbread but it is sounding amazing right now.

Wow, this is a wonderful way to motivate an excellent eating style.
If I do not win the contest, I am going to look this up in my local library system.
My Mom could use this as she is a southern cook through and through, but needs to cut down on meat. She can still have the flavor, right?
I can see chili being a wonderful eye-opening recipe in this context. She loves her chili.
Personally, I grew up with the fried okra and yes a favorite!
Thanks for offering these prizes! I would love to win! Good luck everyone.
