Hall takes us back to her own Nashville roots to offer a fresh, lip-smackin' look at America's favorite comfort cuisine. She traces soul food's history from Africa and the Caribbean to the American South and shows that, traditionally a plant-based cuisine, everyday soul food is full of veggie goodness. Offering distinctive Southern flavors using farm-fresh ingredients, the results are light, healthy, seasonal dishes with big, satisfying tastes. -- adapted from back cover.
