Here’s my book review of Afro-Vegan by Bryant Terry. It’s a collection of recipes, complete with music selections, inspired by African, Caribbean and Southern (US) cuisine. In this review, I try the Basil Salt, Heirloom Tomato Salad, Creamy Red Bell Pepper Sauce, and Lil Po’Boys.

The BEST Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe | Mary's Test Kitchen
From VedgedOut.com, these are the BEST vegan chocolate chip cookies I have every had. This cookie recipe turns out soft, chewy cookies with lightly crisp edges and uses chickpea brine in an unsual way. I hope you try them! I've made them around ten times already. 😀
This recipe was used for this video with permission from Somer McCowan of VedgedOut.com. She was the first in our Vegan Meringue Hits and Misses Group to use aqua faba in cookies and figured out the measurements for each egg replacer.
For the full recipe and tips to making these the best cookies ever, click here: http://vedgedout.com/2015/03/26/the-best-vegan-chocolate-chip-cookies/
For more about using chickpea brine (aqua faba) in baking, check out http://aquafaba.com/
My blog post about this recipe: http://www.marystestkitchen.com/the-best-vegan-chocolate-chip-cookies/
These are the adaptations I made:
1/2 cup golden sugar instead of brown
2 tablespoons refined white sugar instead of 1/4 cup unrefined
1 cup chocolate chips* (though next time I will use only 3/4 cup for a greater cookie to chocolate chip ratio)
To find vegan-friendly chocolate chips, look for the Enjoy Life brand as well as semi-sweet varieties in brands such as President's Choice and Whole Food's 365.

the basil salt kinda looks like weed lol😂
Started with the carrots and cornbread. Both were Amazing!
Thank you so much for this realistic, cheerful, and tasty video! I had hoped to find the chef making his own food, so far…no luck. This was at least as good. Only prob for me really is that while I LOVE tofu/soy…I have had to back way off of it.
yes!! Thank you. More videos like this please!
Great reviews! Next I’d love to see a review of Gaz Oakley’s cook books.
This look so white washed but you should tried something more Afro lol
Thanks for reviewing!
speaking of African, do you ever try to make Ethiopian food? I LOVE eating it (in restaurants), I have the book called "Teff Love" and have tried countless times to make Ethiopian in my own kitchen. It NEVER turns out as good as in a restaurant.. Wondering if you've had any luck. Thanks for your amazing videos, Mary!
The next time you dredge, use the 'wet hand/dry hand' technique from Chef John: one hand for the dry and one for the wet. Really cuts down on the stickiness!
BAsil Salt …is my neXt fav Superstar 😘😘💚👌👌🍄🍄
Any suggestions on what to substitute the vegan mayo with. Too processed and fatty for my liking. But would love to try the sauce
Mary, keep the cookbook reviews coming!! I have a little problem with buying cookbooks since I went vegan. I think I have bought 20 – 30 cookbooks over the last year or 2. It has got to the point where I have to sneak them into the house. 🙂
Wow, you really love cooking!
