Product Description
Academy Award -winning actor Morgan Freeman and a star-studded group of celebrities contribute exotic recipes and personal island tales in a splendid cookbook created to help rebuild the hurricane-devastated island of Grenada.
In September 2004, Hurricane Ivan ravaged the small Caribbean island of Grenada, destroying homes and changing lives forever. Longtime island-lover Morgan Freeman established the Grenada Relief Fund in 2005. Now comes this beautiful cookbook, bringing together a bevy of celebrities to benefit this island in need.
This star-studded cookbook features:
• more than 15 celebrities—including Michael Douglas, Kenny Chesney, Katie Couric, Tom Hanks, Hilary Swank, and Alicia Keys—appearing in gorgeous full-color photographs, sharing their favorite Caribbean recipes, and telling heartwarming stories of what the islands mean to them
• dozens of delicious recipes, such as Grilled Swordfish Steak with Lemon Caperberry Butter from Morgan Freeman, and Kenny Chesney’s favorite Key Lime Pie with photographs of Mr. Chesney baking it himself in the kitchen of his home on St. John
• renowned chefs from Caribbean hideaways of the stars and top-rated resorts, revealing some of their most coveted Caribbean recipes Morgan Freeman is donating all of his proceeds to the Grenada Relief Fund

"Captain Cook" recommends August 12, 2008 Patricia J. Robinson (Florida) As a Charter Captain and sailing instructor, I also do the cooking occasionally, hence the name "Captain Cook" We purchased a copy of this book some time ago, and are giving some as gifts to special people we meet. The recipes are special, and probably closely guarded secrets of Island chefs. For a taste of the Caribbean without going there, this is a book that shouldn't be missed. A worthwhile cause from one of our special people. Captains Pat & Mike[ [ASIN:1594864241 Morgan Freeman and Friends: Caribbean Cooking for a Cause]]

Two Thumbs up and Five Stars for These Delicious Recipes February 17, 2007 Katie Osborne (Portland, Oregon and the sunny Caribbean) 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
The other day I went through my cookbooks, to see if I could weed some out, because I have too many to mention. It's hard getting rid of a cookbook, especially one with a few recipes in it that you've come to love. But I've scanned the recipes I need to keep forever into my MacBook. However, there were an even dozen I couldn't part with. These are books I turn to time and time again, even though I consider myself somewhat of a gourmet chef. Morgan Freeman's COOKING FOR A CAUSE was one of the books I kept. Not only does Mr. Freeman's book help out the people of Grenada, who suffered during Hurricane Ivan, but it can help you out in the kitchen as well. Friday last I made the "Classic Conch Ceviche the Cayman Way" which you can find on page 47. It was delicious. I've also done the "Arroz Con Pollo" a Cuban dish from the Kitchen of Daisy's Grandmother." And that's the rub, is this classic Caribbean food or is it another book of recipes from fancy restaurants. Does it matter? The recipes make delicious meals with a distinct Caribbean flavor, which makes Mr. Freeman's book fit in nicely with my dozen Caribbean keeper cookbooks. And I have to give Mr. Freeman a hand for doing something for the people of Grenada. I was hunkered down in Trinidad, thanking Neptune the hurricane didn't come for me. But it's sad it went for others. This is a good cookbook, one which will help you turn out delicious meals, plus it's for a great cause. Two thumbs up and five stars from me.

Just trying to help friends in Grenada January 6, 2007 staysail 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Purchased this book to help the people of Grenada, I do know one of the chef's who provided a recipe from Grenada. As a cook book most of the recipes require things only found in the Caribbean. However as a interesting read and a way to help others, all in all I would consider it a worth while purchase.
