Soul Food Gets a Healthy Makeover
When one thinks of soul food, one might conjure up images of fried chicken, collard greens, and mac and cheese. With Lindsey Williams' new cookbook, Neo Soul, you will find sweet potato puree and veggie croquettes instead. Is it still soul food? Considering that Williams grew up on soul food and once weighed 400 pounds because of it, I'd say it's got some soul in it.
Williams is doing what many African-Americans are: moving toward healthy eating while still preserving the heritage that stems from soul food. As he stated in Newsweek, "You can still eat ethnic and eat healthy."
You can read more about Williams' cookbook and healthy soul food at MSN.
