With previously unpublished recipes and beautiful colour photographs of food and the local landscape, this is a glorious tour around the Caribbean and its culinary delights. The book features both traditional and updated recipes from the different islands and, although the Caribbean has a reputation for hot food, it includes dishes with delicate, evocative flavours. The dishes are simple to make with ingredients that can be found in most major supermarkets. Traditional recipes such as Jerk Chicken vie with modern classics such as Grilled Coconut Shrimp and Sweet Plantain and Ginger Flans. A whole range of recipes is covered, including vegetarian dishes such as Creamed Cassava with Roasted Garlic and desserts like Little Rum and Chocolate Puddings.

I have searched high and low over the past 6 weeks to find a well written, well illustrated caribbean cook book with authentic recipes as a gift for my sister in law, and up until now, have been bitterly disappointed.
This was the 6th book I ordered, and I am pleased to report that it ticked all my boxes and subsequently made me grin from ear to ear.
I am of west indian origin myself, so my standards are quite high, and I can spot a 'fake' a mile off, but you will find all of the 'traditional' recipes in here - curry goat, rice and peas, jerk pork/chicken, ackee & saltfish, fried dumplings etc, plus many many others to give you inspiration. The recipes are authenic, and where appropriate, the author suggests substitute ingredients.
The instructions are clear, well written, thorough, and easy to follow. The colour photographs - and there are lots and lots of them - are unprentious and give you a clear indication of what your finished dish should look like.
I was only intending to purchase 1 book as a christmas gift, but was so pleased with it, I subsequently purchased another one for myself.
I definately think that this is the best caribbean cookery book that Amazon has to offer at the moment, and represents great value for money. I wasn't disappointed, and I don't think you will be either

This book is perfect for the outdoor cook, or the indoor cook who has a preference for outdoor food i.e. the barbecue fanatic. I've so far tried out only a handful of recipes and found them easy to follow and successful. No doubt this is a book will get used a lot during the summer (i.e. BBQ weather)! The style of writing is accessible and unpretentious unlike other more notable chefs (a la Nigel Slater / Nigella Lawson et al). The first few chapters also give an insight into the Caribbean life and where the recipes originated. A good all-round book.
