Book Reviews of The Real Taste of Jamaica
Book Review: Cooking Up Delicious Meals the Jamaican Way
Summary: 5 Stars
The other day I went through my cookbooks, to see if I could weed some out, because I have too many to mention. It's hard getting rid of a cookbook, especially one with a few recipes in it that you've come to love. But I've scanned the recipes I need to keep forever into my MacBook. However, there were an even dozen I couldn't part with. These are books I turn to time and time again, even though I consider myself somewhat of a gourmet chef.
THE REAL TASTE OF JAMAICA is one of the books I kept. The book starts out with an A to Z introduction of Jamaican foods which is extremely helpful to someone who wants to make authentic tasting Jamaican dishes. I've been living in the Caribbean on and off for the last decade and consider myself somewhat of a gourmet cook and I'm here to tell you this is one of the best books on Caribbean cooking out there.
The Fricasseed Chicken on page 79 is a favorite of my hubby's and pretty easy to fix as is the Jerk Chicken on the same page and as the author's say about jerk chicken, "It's the combination of the seasoning that gives the jerk its unique flavor." That's the truth and if you follow the seasoning in these recipes to the letter, you'll turn out mouthwatering meals. I tend to experiment, but never the first time with a recipe, because I want to see what the cook/writer had in mind with his/her recipe. Most of the recipes in this book are spot on. I don't mess with them very much.
Summary of The Real Taste of Jamaica
This new edition of Enid Donaldson?s popular cookbook, completely re-designed with additional photographs and a brand new cover, takes food lovers and cooks into Jamaican kitchens and restaurants to sample the full range of native cuisine prepared by local housewives, restaurateurs and roadside "jerkies".Enid Donaldson presents her dishes with flair and imagination, delicately spiced and flavoured with curry, scotch bonnet peppers, jerk sauce, pimento, nutmeg, rum and a dash of Jamaican humour. Traditional recipes are included for those who would like to recapture childhood memories. A new section, "Ole Time Something," contributed by noted journalist and talk-show host Barbara Gloudon, captures the memories and magic of Jamaican kitchens and homes of yesteryear.
In this new edition, Ms. Donaldson captures the flavour of Jamaica with a sumptuous collection of over 200 traditional and popular recipes. The Real Taste of Jamaica is one of the best offerings of Jamaican cuisine both in its comprehensive nature and its authentic cultural quality. This is more than just a cookbook; it is celebration of Jamaican culture and a home entertainer?s delight.
