Customer Reviews

Carribean in my kitchen....

Ahh, the pictures alone are mouth watering. I suggest you might want to have a snack before reviewing this yummy experience. Have you ever been to the Caribbean? This book helped prepare me for my vacation and at times a simple meal accompanied with a light Caribbean beat, takes me back, back to my enchanted place. My favorite recipe is Grilled Baby Lamb Chops by Chef Norma Shirley at the Warfside in Jamaica. And yes I will say with the detailed instructions, after the second try, I nailed this morsel. I have prepared a few dishes for guest who are natives of the East Coast (I am from California ;o), two friends are from New York, another from Florida) and even they taste flavors that remind them of restaurants you can't find in California. Some of the ingredients are hard to find, but they do assist with information to substitute as well as where to look if you insist on having the ingredients as authentic as possible. The only bad part is, you will have no leftovers, everyone will eat everything. Buy it, for the sake of calories!
