NYC’s Black Rican Vegan Pop-Up to Release Cookbook This July

Lyana Blount, the chef and owner of NYC's popular Black Rican Vegan pop-up, is set to release a cookbook featuring 60 Afro-Latine plant-based recipes this July. Inspired by her heritage, Blount's culinary creations fuse Latin staples with city favorites, such as Vegan Chicharron Sin Carne and NYC Bacun Eggin Cheeze, promising a vibrant explosion of flavors that will redefine vegan cuisine. The cookbook, Black Rican Vegan, is not just a collection of recipes; it also shares intimate family stories and insights that add a personal touch to each dish.

With a range of innovative recipes like Succulent Barbacoa Jackfruit Tacos and Coquito Tres Leches Cake, Black Rican Vegan aims to showcase the accessibility and deliciousness of plant-based alternatives for a new generation of cooks. Through clever substitutes for meat, cheese, and seafood, the cookbook offers a healthier approach to Afro-Latine fare. Pre-orders for the cookbook are now available on Amazon, with the official release date set for July 25th.
