A Book of Comforting Recipes from the Deep South (y’all!)
Southern Vegan is a lovely book, offering 60 recipes for Deep South food gone plant-based (many Southern recipes are similar to ‘English comfort food’ like biscuits with gravy, mashed potato and peach cobblers).
Read up on food safety for people and pets. Bin allium scraps (onion, leeks, garlic, shallots, chives) and tomato/citrus/rhubarb scraps (acids may harm compost creatures).
Fully remove tinned lids (or pop ring-pulls back over holes) before recycling, to avoid wildlife getting trapped.
These recipes use fool-proof cooking methods and easy substitutions, for spot-on dishes to transport you to warm summer nights, full of family, tradition and of course, a little sweet tea!

- Mashed Sweet Potatoes
