  With previously unpublished recipes and beautiful colour photographs of food and the local landscape, this is a glorious tour around the Caribbean and its culinary delights. The book features both traditional and updated recipes from the different islands and, although the Caribbean has a reputation for hot food, it includes dishes with delicate, evocative flavours. The dishes are simple to make with ingredients that can be found in most major supermarkets. Traditional recipes such as Jerk Chicken vie with modern classics such as Grilled Coconut Shrimp and Sweet Plantain and Ginger Flans. A whole range of recipes is covered, including vegetarian dishes such as Creamed Cassava with Roasted Garlic and desserts like Little Rum and Chocolate Puddings.
