Product Description
In the bustling markets of the Caribbean islands, plaid-clothed vendors call out in singsong voices to advertise thick slices of pepper-strewn fish, warm fritters, and sweet coconut confections. Blending African, Indian, Chinese, and Amerindian influences, Caribbean cooking is as richly complex as the people who live there. In ISLAND COOKING, native Jamaican Dunstan A. Harris has collected a sampling of tantalizing spark-and-spice recipes from each region of the Caribbean. Try Chicken in Coconut Milk from Martinique; the French Caribbeans favorite Stuffed Crabs; a Blue Mountain Cocktail named for Jamaicas highest mountain range; or the ever-popular Sweet Potato Balls, adored by islanders everywhere. With more than 200 recipes and a glossary explaining island-specific ingredients, ISLAND COOKING brings a taste of the tropics home to your table.

 Not a "keeper" August 12, 2009

Clearly, I was not impressed. Many of these pedestrian recipes are "carribean" mainly on account of the addition of an ingredient such as soy sauce, or lime juice, or coconut oil (for frying) -- and are otherwise simply unsophisticated versions of of dishes you might find in your local paper. I could ramble on, but I think this is my major complaint (in light of this big one, would any other complaint matter anyway?).

My sister has this book and I was impressed by the range of recipes it carries. (see the Search Inside the Book for a sampling)
The format is easy to use, with the list of ingredients down the side of the page next to the instructions. At a glance, you can see if you have on-hand what the recipe requires.
Some ingredients are not on the average American's cupboard shelf, but the author tells where to search for them (Hispanic grocery stores) or suggests a substitution. The glossary goes into more detail on this, such as explaining the six forms of coconut (grated, shredded, coconut water, milk, cream & oil).
Cook up an island feast for a party of friends or just treat yourself. This book makes it easy.
