Its funny you should write about this. I had fresh collard greens last night. Your Uncle Ric grew some collards at Paw-Paw's (using organic fertilizer) and they were so good. In fact this is the second time that I have cooked them...1st time I used smoked turkey wings and this time I used different seasonings, olive oil and a beef bouillon cube (which I know for you is a big no-no!)but I'm going to try the Citrus Collards w/raisins Redux the next time I make them. Thanks for the article/cookbook review. Tesia, now you know the word vegan turns me off but this VSK cookbook sounds ver interesting. Its funny you should write about this.

One all-time fave is collard greens. FYI folks, the cocktails in this book are off the hinges! I’m not a vegan either, but good food is good food! One all-time fave is collard greens.

I bought the book and didn't realize he was alumni of my beloved school until later but... boy was it good. It was my first time trying Tempeh too. I'm pretty sure I put too many chipotle peppers instead of what was called for cause it was SPICY but still delicious. I can't wait to make my next dish from the book. Don't enter me. I have the book and loves it. Just wanted to post and say THANK YOU! Therese- I love the GETEMGIRLS Recipes. The book is on point! Tesia,

I worked with Bryant at a multi-service youth agency in NYC. He did a program called b-healthy where he taught youth how to cook healthy foods, gain knowledge and insight, and food advocacy for neighborhood food justice. Bryant hasn't stopped doing what he does best, showing people how to love food and love themselves by what and how they eat. Bryant is breaking Black-folks mind-set and reminding up of our unique and wonderful culinary history and attchment to the land. And that is beauiful! So thanks for writing the article, the more who read, and try something new the better. The article was a great read. I worked with Bryant at a multi-service youth agency in NYC.

Although I am not completely vegan (I'm still working on the poultry), I'm getting there. Slowly, but surely. I am excited to learn more about cooking these recipes for my family. It seems that those mention will make for an easy transition from meat eater to vegeterian to completely vegan. My absolute favorite dish growing up was macaroni and cheese. It is now a favorite of my eldest daughter. She is the taste tester in the home. My youngest is the aspiring chef, so another cookbook for her would be awesome. Again, thank you for the information and I look forward to your upcoming articles. LaVondra "Missy" Pitts Tesia,
