      Blount is the chef and owner of Black Rican Vegan, a successful pop-up restaurant in NYC. Her first cookbook is an ode to her family and culture and her personal dedication to being a vegan. She painstakingly recreated the fusion of soul food and classic Puerto Rican recipes from her childhood through a vegan lens, and the resulting recipes are designed to comfort. Folks who are familiar with Puerto Rican cooking will find all their favorites here, including pastel�n, pernil, and pastelillos. Blount also has recipes for making traditional spice blends, such as saz�n, to help avoid the additives in store-bought versions while also heightening flavor, although some recipes do call for store-bought vegan products, such as vegan cheese slices and plant-based meats. The cookbook's sweets are impressive and would be a showstopper on any table, and the brunch chapter is unique and full of hearty recipes such as biscuits and gravy. With wide appeal, Blount has created an incomparable personal collection of dishes that will warm hearts and fill stomachs. VERDICT This unicorn of a vegan cookbook captures the melding of Puerto Rican and U.S. soul food, with a distinct nod to New York City and the memory of family dinners past and present.--Sarah Tansley
