Bryant Terry is a renowned chef and cookbook author and culinary historian. His books highlight vegan approaches to the African diaspora of food, exploring the culinary wealth of ingredients, techniques and recipes that have spread from Africa to the Caribbean, and all over the Americas. The decolonization of "soul food" is an integral part of his agenda.
