It could be in music, literature, scientific study, or various other forms of intellectual expression.

There’s perfect potluck fare, such as the simple, warming, and intensely flavored Collard Greens and Cabbage with Lots of Garlic, and the Caribbean-inspired Cocoa Spice Cake with Crystallized Ginger and Coconut-Chocolate Ganache, plus a refreshing Roselle-Rooibos Drink that will satisfy any sweet tooth. Blending these colourful cuisines results in delicious recipes like Smashed Potatoes, Peas, and Corn with Chile-Garlic Oil, a recipe inspired by the Kenyan dish irio, and Cinnamon-Soaked Wheat Berry Salad with dried apricots, carrots, and almonds, which is based on a Moroccan tagine. Last year, I found myself on the phone with Bryant Terry, the chef-in-residence at the Museum of the African Diaspora and author of the 2014 cookbook, Afro-Vegan, for a story I was working on at Fast Company. Harry Adès grew up in London next door to – and now lives exactly 36 paces away from – a very fine pub. and in 2007 he received the inaugural Natural Gourmet Institute Award for Excellence in Health-Supportive Education along with author and Educator Marion Nestle.He loves Nicolas Cage, has five sugars in his tea, would have married a six foot two Hispanic woman but in the end had such bad chest catarrh he never had a girlfriend.

I still have not developed a liking for okra, even after trying one of the recipes, but for anyone wanting to reduce the meat content in their diet will be pleasantly surprised at how great a non-meat meal can taste with these recipes.A fun, contemporary twist on the food of her childhood, she cleverly blends the flavours and colours of West Africa with vegan ingredients.

Bryant elevates our often-overlooked culinary traditions and infuses a personal, smart, and practical love.

To my Black Nigerian parents whose colonial education had provided a means out of their small villages, intellectually leaning as further away from our culture seemed to be the path they led their children down. In 2002 Bryant founded b-healthy (Build Healthy Eating and Lifestyles to Help Youth), a multi-year initiative in New York City designed to empower youth to be more active in fighting for a more sustainable food system.
