We want to share this joy: a testament to the culture of Jamaica, the fun, fantastic FLAVAs, and the stories behind the food, straight from the people of Jamaica. So I prescribe myself the Kitchen Cure, which is to say I lose myself in cooking and eating good things full of bright flavour. Biography: Craig and Shaun McAnuff, raised in London and of Jamaican descent, are bringing Caribbean food to the masses.

I work with students from the Caribbean, so I was always curious about the foods they grew up eating.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher, and I have to say that for someone in the Caribbean, this would probably be a good recipe book.

We also like to twist it up a likkle to give dishes our modern spin, so you can find recipes for Honey roasted jerk-spiced salmon, Plantain bean burgers and Banana fritter cheesecake. This is an amazing introduction to plant- based Caribbean cooking and since I have never had authentic Caribbean food before - mainly because I have the chilli threshold of a toddler - I was SOOO excited to see this book. Determined to find more interesting Vegan recipes with actual ingredients rather than 'fake meat' this book wonderfully fit my requirements.Jamaican food also has an authentic vegan history with the Rastafarian Ital diet ('Ital' is a natural, unprocessed, plant-based diet used to promote wellness). Think Potato and C hickpea Curry with Roti, Jerk C auliflower Wings, Coconut, Black-Eyed Pea and Sweet Potato Stew, and Plantain Cookies .
