Inherited primarily from coastal countries in West Africa, the cuisines of the diaspora brought to Brazil and Barbados, Birmingham and Brooklyn, were traditionally plant-based. In keeping with ancestry, the 2020 Black History Month virtual potluck is an all vegan and vegetarian affair. The featured chefs and food bloggers created recipes as varied as vegan po’ boys and pound cake to help maintain healthy eating goals throughout the year.
Black history month may officially be in February, but you can enjoy a bite of culture year-round with these 29 delicious plant-based dishes.
