Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly
Caribbean cuisine blends West African, French, Portuguese, East Indian, Spanish, English, Dutch and Chinese heritages. In serving portions from this melting pot, Harrisa native Jamaican and an importer of Caribbean foods to the U.S.offers ``everyday fare and tasty bits and pieces'' ranging from party beverages (e.g., tamarind drink) to main courses (pot roast calypso). In addition, Harris traces a brief history of Caribbean cookery. His book is a good place to test your mettle on highly spiced foods and flavors. However, some recipesrequiring the entrails, head and feet of lambs, and pigs' tailswill appeal only to devoted followers. And if you live in an area where fresh shark, conch, chayote and callaloo are hard to come by, you may have to do some nimble improvising, though the author does suggest alternative ingredients and lists Caribbean food distributors in this country. (Dec.)
Library Journal
Home cooking from the Caribbean. Harris is a native of Jamaica, but recipes come from all parts of the region. The influence of the European and Asian settlers is evident in what has become the native food, with Gouda Cheese Soup, Poisson en Blaff, and Arroz con Pollo all part of the mix. Caribbean food is popular now; Elizabeth Lambert Ortiz's Complete Book of Caribbean Cooking (M. Evans, 1983. pap.) is a good standard guide, but larger collections could add this too. JS

    Island Cooking...yumm

    Very good recipes. Also very easy to follow. Even lists a glossary in the back explaining what some of the ingredients are..for those who don't already know. Each recipe tells you which country it's taken/adapted from, nice to know. These recipes are basics to the world of caribbean cooking. It gives you a few recipes in each category: deserts, drinks, side dishes, fish, pork, etc.
