My All-time Favorite Cookbook December 5, 2009
Lady (Virgin Islands)
This is an excellent cookbook! I use it all the time, as it has just about any Caribbean recipe you can think of--including an awesome recipe for black cake. I was first introduced to the book about 20 years ago when I browsed through my friend's copy. I was later able to purchase a used, out of print copy of the book via Amazon.com. I need to buy a new one, because the one I have is falling apart.
What Caribbeans use to cook November 11, 2009

This is the quintessential cookbook of the Caribbean. It's used everywhere. I'm from the Caribbean, and this was one of my textbooks (no lying) in secondary school - it's used so much. I still have it and I still use it. Even though the cookbook is broadened to the Caribbean and not specific to one Caribbean island, it covers almost all of the unique recipes that are spread across the region. There's even a recipes for 'conkie' which I never thought any cookbook would have. The one I have right now is old, so I'm probably going to have to get another one soon. Thanks Amazon!

I purchased a 1979 edition of 'Caribbean Cooking' by Rita G Springer back in the early 80's because I needed to learn to cook. I'd moved to England from Trinidad where I grew up. Clueless on how to create the food and dishes upon which I grew up, loved to eat and missed dreadfully, my only option was to learn how to create these for myself! Since then, Ms Springer's book has been one of my best loved, always-to-hand culinary companions. I've created my favourite dishes reliably and repeatedly and tried some new ones to boot.
My 1979 edition was well-thumbed, falling apart really. So I was very excited to find that this old favourite had been re-printed and I could buy a new but the same copy. This book represents for me a staple for anyone wishing to eat real everyday West Indian dishes. As a Trini who loves her food, I can definitely recommend this book for all you Caribees far from home, homesick for local fare. And for the adventurous foodie souls out there, I can definitely recommend this book for you too!
ENJOY!

I'VE HAD THIS BOOK FOR 11 YEARS.SINCE IN MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS BACK IN MY HOMELAND DOMINICA.I REMEMBER US USING IT AT OUR FOOD AND NUTRITION CLASSES.THIS BOOK USE TO BE ONE OF OUR TEXT BOOK.THERE ARE SO MANY MOUTH WATERING RECIPES.EVEN TO THIS DAY,EVEN IF IT'S IN HALF,WITH SOME MISPLACED PAGES,I CAN STILL COOK UP SOME OLD RECIPES FOR MY DAUGHTER AND HUSBAND.TRUST ME IT IS WORTH THE MONEY,WHICH IS WHY I AM BUYING ANOTHER ONE TO REPLACE THE OLD.
