Product Description
Synopsis
Tonic foods, herbs, and roots are an integral part of Jamaican culture, almost every Jamaican has had Irish moss, carrot juice, or stout punch - the three most well known 'family tonics'. This book contains most of the traditional food and drink tonics used in Jamaica, as well as the key roots used in bottled 'man tonic' preparations bought over the counter. There are detailed photographs and descriptions on how to identify and prepare ingredients, as well as recent scientific data on many of the traditional foods, roots, and herbs used. Add to this the pumping beat of the Jamaican dancehall culture with its iconic sexual symbols of the 'talwah' or 'super-macho' and the 'superwoman', both wanting to 'perform' with style and flare, and you have perhaps the most sophisticated and extensive tonic taking culture in the world. It includes over 250 Jamaican Balm-yard herbal remedies with local and international botanical names for plant identification. This book covers recipes with over 200 full-colour photographs and supporting illustrations.
