Liked the mac and cheese, although it was a little dry.

Greens were good, but in my greens-eating lifetime I’ve noticed two distinct ways to prepare greens: one is to lightly saute or blanch the plants so they still have some green color and some crunch, and the other way seems to be to boil them to death (in a tasty broth). Taste of Life takes the latter route, leaving the greens so cooked they appeared brownish. They still tasted good, but were cooked beyond belief.

Tofu was firm with a nice outer crust and was covered in sweet, tangy sauce which I really enjoyed. I’m not usually a fan of chunks of tofu, but I was happy with these.

I also got blackeyed peas, but I had so much food I didn’t get to them…and then the food ended up sitting in the car and I had to throw it out.

I think this place is promising. They also had pot roast and lasagne, neither of which I tried. I’d like to check out the restaurant before comparing it to other soul food spots in LA.

But for now, Veggie Soul is tops on my soul food list.

Oh, and thanks for stopping by and reading my blog!
