Product Description
In Jamaica, roadside vendors slow-cook their jerk-seasoned barbecue over charcoal pits. This cookbook shows how to bring that soul-satisfying food to the American kitchen. Jamaican Cooking is a lifes work for Lucinda Scala Quinn, who has spent the last 20 years travelling to Jamaica. Shes written 150 recipes for everything from jerk-flavored chicken and patties to boldly-flavored fish and seafood dishes, soups, stews, breakfasts, drinks, and desserts. In addition to making this authentic cuisine simple enough for home cooks, she sets the Jamaican mood and spirit with tales of her travels and evocative black-and-white photographs throughout. Jamaican Cooking, which is influenced by the cuisines of Africa, East India, Creole, Mexico, and even Asia, is a must for adventurous food lovers.Lucinda Scala Quinn, a New York based food specialist, has worked

4 out of 5 stars Extreme mark up   January 13, 2010
Curious Me
My comment is not about the book, but the price. Why the ridiculous mark up???? The list price of the book new is $15.00, but the used price is $29.00 plus????

I was born and raised in Jamaica until I was 13 and learned to cook from my mother and grandmother. I gave this book as Christmas presents to a few friends who love my cooking and wanted to know how to make many of my native dishes. I found this book years ago when 1st published. After reading the receipes I knew it was the right one because it sounded much like my mother and grandmother teaching me in the kitchen years ago. I've tested a few of the recipes that I didn't learn and they tasted like I remember eating....LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. A MUST BUY.

After renting a house in Montego Bay several years ago and having a Jamaican cook we have tried to find a "True" Jamaican cook book. This is it! From the meat pies that we had downtown to the lobster curry caserole our cook made. This cook book captures the true flavors of Jamaican cooking.....
