A major new millennial talent, Rachel Ama's brilliantly quick, easy and affordable plant-based recipes will speak to fans of Jamie Oliver, BOSH! and Fearne Cotton.
Since launching her YouTube channel in September 2017 Rachel Ama
has amassed a legion of followers who are all hungry for her
simple, affordable and delicious vegan recipes and recommendations
(and for her dance moves).
Rachel Ama knows the London vegan scene inside-out but she also
looks abroad for flavour inspiration, and to both her Caribbean and
African roots. Rachel grew up in North London with her Mum, who
encouraged lots of veggies (there was no "treat drawer" in their
house) and was really into holistic living and studied nutrition.
Rachel very much brought vegan cooking home and would take staple
Caribbean recipes (inspiration from her Sierra Leonean and St
Lucian roots) and make vegan alternatives still packed with
traditional spices and flavours. Rachel also has a grandma from
Wales so was inspired to make some British classics vegan.
A self-confessed KFC addict as a teenager, she decided to go vegan
three years ago and hasn't looked back. As her passion for plants
grew and grew, so did her interest in cooking - and her belief that
vegan food need not compromise on taste or nutrition. Rachel
travelled around South America after University and was inspired by
how each country offered a completely different palette of
flavours, confirming her love for food and cooking.
Rachel loves to exercise and dispels the belief that veganism gives
you no energy - she loves boxing and trying out new exercises like
Muay Thai. She lives in North London with her Cockapoo, Marlee.

heritage
