An Adventure in Caribbean Cuisine

Author: Janice Archibald

An Adventure in Caribbean Cuisine presents traditional and original recipes from the widespread and diverse kitchens of the Caribbean's Association of Home Economists. On show is the variety of ways in which the preparation and combination of the basic ingredients of traditional Caribbean 'Creole' cuisine have developed throughout the territories. There remain foods that are identified with individual territories, but over the centuries, the cooking cultures - Amerindian, Spanish, British, French, Dutch, African, Indian, Portuguese, Chinese and others - have blended and this has given Caribbean cuisine a strong regional identity. An Adventure in Caribbean Cuisine gives both background and culinary information; it serves as a recipe book and a guide through the romance of the traditional, and the excitement of the contemporary in Caribbean cuisine.
