Recipes from the Rum Islands : Food & Stories from the Caribbean

'I want to eat everything in this book' - Thomasina Miers When you think of the Caribbean, a hundred beautiful clichés come to mind - white sand, blue sky, salty breezes and balmy nights. But what of the food? Eating is at the heart of Caribbean life: people come together in the kitchen, someone starts cooking and soon there is laughter, music and fantastic food. Shivi Ramoutar grew up in Trinidad, Leicester and London. Having run supper clubs and hosted podcasts, Shivi is now a regular presenter on ITV, where she shares her recipes; a wonderful melting pot of flavours. From traditional Coconut Chicken Rundown to Red Bean and Spinach Mac 'n' Cheese and Baked Eggs Creole, her food is fresh and zingy, exciting and exotic, but also satisfyingly homely and hearty. And not forgetting fun - Salted Tamarind Caramel Sundae, Smashed Banana Pancakes and Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake - without which the book just wouldn't be Caribbean. This is a black and white reissue edition of Caribbean Modern, previously published as a full-colour cookbook in 2015. This edition contains no photography.
