These ‘tuna' melts show vegan cooking can be about abundance, too
Jenné Claiborne has me thinking about Vertamae Smart-Grosvenor and the idea of vibrations.
Claiborne, who just turned 38, writes about vegan cooking from her home in Atlanta under the brand Sweet Potato Soul. Smart-Grosvenor, who died in 2016 at age 79, was the Geechee poet, broadcaster and culinary anthropologist who wrote the seminal 1970 book 'Vibration Cooking.' (In it, she wrote, 'When I cook, I never measure or weigh anything. I cook by vibration.')
