Review of 'Eat Plants, B*tch' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This book is specifically aimed at meat eaters. This isn’t a health-focused vegan cookbook. There are a lot of recipes that use processed vegan foods like vegan cheeses, mayo, and cream cheese. Many of the recipes aim to replicate meat-containing meals. A lot of the recipes recommend frying the food, which I don’t ever do.
Having said all that, I highlighted a lot of recipes to try in this book. Some of these look really good.
I wasn’t familiar with the author prior to reading this but I am impressed. She has an entrepreneurial spirit. She started her first food stall at 16. She also highlights several other Black vegan chefs in the book. They give life advice and submit recipes.
Here’s what I’ve highlighted:

Here’s what I’ve highlighted:
Spicy sausage gravy and biscuits
Island cauliflower po’boy – I’m not sure if this will be good or just weird. I’ve also never had a meat po’boy so I’m not sure what to compare it to.
Pineapple rice bowl – Served in a pineapple shell
BBQ Tofu Bowl
Black-eyed pea stew – I made this and it was good. It also makes a lot so I’ve been eating left overs all week.
Maple-roasted vegetables
Potato mushroom soup
Sweet and spicy collard greens – I just started making collard greens at home and all I know how to do is saute them and cover them in hot sauce. I’m gonna get fancy with this recipe.
Spinach artichoke dip – I’m on a quest for the perfect vegan spinach artichoke dip.
White bean dip – She adds in some pimentos. I need to try this.
Watermelon creamsicles
