Original Flava: Caribbean Recipes from Home - Hardcover
by Craig McAnuff (Author), Shaun McAnuff (Author)
Craig and Shaun McAnuff are bringing da'Flava from the Caribbean to your kitchen!
We're Craig and Shaun, two brothers from South London, but with Jamaica in our hearts and souls. Our Mum and Nanny taught us to cook, and Original Flava is all about meals that are vibrant, lively, exciting, and full of the influences that make the Caribbean island of Jamaica so wonderful. That's why we've travelled to Jamaica to bring you its authentic and fresh FLAVAs! Our motto is EAT: we make our recipes Easy, Accessible and Tasty. We want to give you platefuls that taste like grandma's food so there are recipes for classics like Ackee 'n' Saltfish and Curry goat, and Caribbean favourites such as Garlic butter lobster and Trini doubles. We also like to twist it up to give dishes our modern spin, so you can find recipes for Honey roasted jerk-spiced salmon, Plantain beanburgers and Banana fritter cheesecake. We want to share the joy and togetherness that food brings: a testament to the culture of Jamaica, the fun, fantastic FLAVAs, and the stories behind the food, straight from the people of Jamaica. So, get your ingredients, turn on the music, and let's get cooking! Like this?
