Plant'ish Welcomes Charlise Rookwood, founder of Vegan Soulicious and host of The Black Vegan Cooking Show, a celebrity-studded series that features rapper Styles P, comedian Donnell Rawlings, celebrity chef Lauren Von Der Pool, and more.
The Black Vegan Cooking Show, starring Charlise Rookwood of Vegan Soulicious, premiered March 22, 2022. The six-episode season features Rookwood (a London-born singer, model, and musician turned vegan chef, entrepreneur, and influencer) as she cooks alongside celebrity guests such as rapper Styles P; comedian Donnell Rawlings; journalist and television host Jamila Mustafa; celebrity chef Lauren Von Der Pool; and comedian, actor, and musician Dean Edwards. Chyna Love, founder of the plant-based Caribbean company Bad Gyal Vegan and the innovator behind Voxtail (vegan oxtail), also cooks plant-based fare alongside Rookwood.
Born from Rookwood’s Vegan Soulicious platform on Instagram, The Black Vegan Cooking Show showcases Rookwood and her guests while they catch up, enjoy drinks, and prepare plant-based brunches, dinners, midnight munchies, and more.
Rookwood is of Jamaican and Mauritian descent and takes pride in veganzing the foods she was raised eating. Before Rookwood starred in her very own vegan cooking show, she helmed a plant-based catering company known for supplying vegan baked goods to cafés across Manhattan. When she wasn’t in the kitchen, Rookwood was in the classroom, teaching first and second graders about plant-based cooking.
A mother herself, she began researching the diets of low-income students of color in the United States. Although Rookwood is originally from London, she often visited family in Queens—where fast-food options outnumber healthier fare—and became familiar with food deserts first hand. She quickly realized there was an opportunity for her to help communities of color eat healthy, plant-based meals without losing the flavors they enjoyed.
