Advance praise forVegetable Kingdom

In the great Black American tradition of the remix and doing what you can with what you got, my friend Bryant Terry goes hard at vegetables with a hip-hop eye and a Southern grandmamas nature. To paraphrase Maya Angelou, Bryant wants us to know that once we know vegetables better, we will cook vegetables better. He aint lyin.W. Kamau Bell, comedian, author, and host of the Emmy Awardwinning seriesUnited Shades of America
