The Real Taste of Jamaica is a Must Have!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Real Taste of Jamaica (Paperback)
As I was born is England with Jamaican parents, my mum would cook amazing Jamaican dishes, but then a few years ago I moved away to go university and missed all these great meals. Then I bought The Real Taste of Jamaica on Amazon not knowing what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised.This book has all the traditional Jamaican meals that my mum cooks and ones that she's never even heard of. The recipes include a wide range of meals and drinks. It's broken up into chapters on starters, meals, soups, cakes, desserts and drinks. Classic recipes that are in the book are rice and peas, ackee and salt fish, johnny cakes (dumplins), curry goat, jerk chicken, salt fish fritters, grater cake, spiced bun, banana cake, pina colada, rum punch and many more. Instead of really bad sketches there are beautiful large photographs of the finished product. As I live in England, I was a bit worried about not understanding some of the ingredients, but there was only one I didn't understand which was escallion, which my mum quickly cleared up fo me as it was spring onion. The recipes themselves are easy and straighforward to do. I would definitely recommend this book for everyone.

This review is from: The Real Taste of Jamaica (Paperback)
I'm not Jamaican I'm Scottish. My best friend however is of Jamaican parentage. Now she doesn't cook Jamaican food on the whole. But she had heard that this book was great. So I went ahead and bought a couple of copies for us both. I've probably cooked more Jamaican than her now!
Oh boy. Oh boy, oh boy, mmmmm tasty, tasty food! I would make one slight point though. Some of the recipes are not quite that easy to do. Only because the author presumes too much of you. I personally would prefer a more step by step guide. There appears to be steps missing in some of the recipes. But they're not that bad that you can't work them out. And the results are fantastic. Now I'm not a huge fan of over spicy food. But I made "Jerk Chicken" and overnight I became a convert. For that one recipe the book is well worth the money. Yeah it's hot, hot, hot. But my mouth tingled, it didn't burn. It actually tingled with joy. Plus you get a bit of cultural history as well. And a background to the recipes and their names as well. Mince & Tatties are the staple dish of Scotland. Don't get me wrong I love good old stodgy Scottish food. But Jamaican food is so tasty, & colourful. And if you are Scottish just look at the Cake section. It's got Scotland written all over it! Seriously you don't have to be Black to enjoy this book. Even the Auld Troll wants to borrow the book of me. So she can make some of the soups. Jamaican food is the best! It's the bees pyjamas! Any Jamaicans out there want to adopt a skinny wee Scottish Boy?

This book is a must for all who want to learn to cook the wonderful dishes of Jamaica. My parents are from Jamaica and I know how to cook some Jamaican dishes, but this book will improve and show you many more dishes from the wonderful island.Well only my mother is better and we all say that.
