Meet Jenne Claiborne a Vegan Chef, author whose social media presence @sweetpotatosoul is attracting some serious buzz. Her first book Sweet Potato Soul: 100 vegan recipes for the Southern flavors of  Smoke, Sugar, Spice and Soul was well received by the food world. The cookbook features vegan recipes channeling traditional soul food. Born and raised in Atlanta, Ga., Claiborne’s father grew up eating vegan and following the Hebrew Israelite faith. However, Claiborne  became more serious about healthy eating in college. Now she lives in New York City where she runs a blog and a must follow Instagram account. She’s a fresh voice among the vegan chorus. Her famous  recipes include  sweeet potato cinnamon rolls, sweet potato tahini cookies, and her famous sweet potato pie using squash as an egg substitute.
