Calling
Rachel Ama is just like us.
She’s prone to impromptu
dance parties, loves a
good Spotify playlist, and
is obsessed with vegan
food. That’s why more than 200,000 tune in
to the North Londoner’s YouTube channel for
her animated takes on recipes ranging from
comfort-food classics (hello, KFC-inspired
vegan chicken and waffles), budget-friendly
bites (don’t miss her guides to £1 meals),
and soulful takes on the Caribbean dishes
she grew up on. And in 2019, Ama’s star
continues to rise—first when The Observer
named her the year’s food personality to
watch, and now, with the release of her debut
cookbook Rachel Ama’s Vegan Eats.
Vivid African prints, pristine marble slabs,
and contemporary, hand-painted serveware
show off Ama’s impeccable aesthetic, while
the equally colorful, delectable dishes plated
artfully atop them demonstrate her immense
culinary talent. And as an added bonus, the
lover of hip-hop, R&B, disco, and funk has
paired each recipe with a suggested song so
readers can jam out while trying their hand
at Moringa Pancakes with Figs and Walnuts.
Sounds like the perfect morning to us.88 VegNews SUMMER 2019
