About the Author
Jason Tjon Affo currently works as a recipe developer and food photographer. When he first went vegan 7 years ago, he felt the need to create dishes that he could share with his family and friends. This led to him starting an Instagram page and blog where he published some of his recipes. Throughout the years he’s used these media as a space to not only share recipes but also share more about other topics that interest him. He looks at food as something that can bring people together and set the scene for deeper conversations.
About the Book
Vegan Soul Food is a book filled with colorful and comforting recipes. After years of sharing recipes online, Jason felt the need to create a bundle of recipes that best describe his cooking style and recipes that he grew up with. This is a mixture of some of his favorite Surinamese meals, which are the base of his cooking, and other dishes he loves to share with his loved ones. It’s his take on soul food: colorful, bold, and made to share.
