Overview
An exploration of Caribbean cuisine and culinary history, featuring more than 380 authentic home cooking recipes from across the region
Caribbean cuisine reveals a culture of boundless imagination and creativity. It is the result of resourcefulness and ingenuity, where the need to survive and thrive shaped dishes that stand as powerful representations of its various cultures.
In The Caribbean Cookbook, chef Rawlston Williams celebrates the diverse foods, flavors, and culinary traditions of this vibrant region. Featuring more than 380 recipes from 28 countries and island nations, the book includes classic marinades, sauces, and preserves; broths and soups; rices, grains, and vegetables; and chapters dedicated to Sea & River, On Land, Flour, Sugar, Juice, and Rum. The iconic ingredients synonymous with the Caribbean – citrus, nutmeg, coconut, tamarind, pimento, pineapple, rum – are showcased throughout, with spices as the stars, elevating other ingredients to create layered and satisfying dishes.
This intensively researched recipe collection includes both beloved classics and lesser-known specialties. Home cooks around the world will discover Jamaica’s Jerk Chicken and Dominica’s Callaloo Soup; Puerto Rico’s plantain-based Mofongo; Green Fig Salad from Saint Lucia; Haiti’s Seafood Creole; a sweet Cashew Cake from Aruba; and other authentic dishes. There’s plenty for armchair travelers to enjoy, too: Rawlston’s descriptions of the islands’ histories, culture, and traditions bring each recipe to life, while stunning color photography of the food and landscapes offers a whirlwind journey across one of the world’s most beautiful destinations.
Beautifully designed in bold tropical shades, The Caribbean Cookbook is a powerful, joyful ode to the many flavors of this incredible region.
