Jenné Claiborne grew up eating classic southern food in Atlanta, and she recreates those flavors using fresh vegetables and whole grains...

in her 2018 book, Sweet Potato Soul: 100 Easy Vegan Recipes for the Southern Flavors of Smoke, Sugar, Spice, and Soul. Claiborne writes about the African roots of soul food, as well as its traditional reliance on a variety of leafy greens, root vegetables, and a variety of grains. We adapted this recipe from her blog, also called Sweet Potato Soul.
