    Crispy Eggplant Bacon - This is a horrible recipe! I made it for Thanksgiving. While I was ready to dump it into the garbage. Kind guests suggested that the eggplant needed to be DRIED OUT first. Maybe, I dunno. I will never made this again. And, by the way, it tasted nothing like bacon.

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Coconut collard salad

    • Lalamzo on December 08, 2025

      I don’t love collard greens but get them often in my CSA box. This might be my favorite way I’ve ever eaten them. Pickled onions make everything so much better!

  • Harlem caviar: black-eyed pea salad

    • cleo_vimqze on March 15, 2026

      I would make extra dressing since the peas absorb a lot but this is a fabulous easy meal.

  • Tender mess o' collard greens

    • Lalamzo on November 19, 2025

      This was good but too salty. I would make it again but halve the soy sauce (and probably halve the smoked paprika too).

    • kelley_dsv25l on February 01, 2026

      Love this recipe. Have made it several times. Very easy and great depth of flavor.

    • greermellon on February 02, 2026

      Really great flavor combination. Made with diced tomatoes which really cooked down to a complex flavor, and added just a little soy sauce and paprika

  • Turmeric & ginger lemonade

    • Willora on March 08, 2026

      Favourite lemonade recipe. I am not a sweet tooth, so I cut the sugar in half, but I think most people will like the full sugar version

Publishers Text

Jenné Claiborne grew up in Atlanta eating classic Soul Food--fluffy biscuits, smoky sausage, Nana's sweet potato pie--but thought she'd have to give all that up when she went vegan.  As a chef, she instead spent years tweaking and experimenting to infuse plant-based, life-giving, glow-worthy foods with the flavor and depth that feeds the soul.
 
The result? Her first cookbook, SWEET POTATO SOUL, offering 100 vegan recipes that riff on Southern cooking in surprising and delicious ways, beautifully illustrated with full-color photography. Jenné 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, Jenné 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.
 
From decadent pound cakes and ginger-kissed fruit cobblers to smokey collard greens, amazing crabcakes and the most comforting sweet potato pie you'll ever taste, these better-than-the-original takes on crave-worthy dishes are good for your health, heart, and soul.
