  • Dirty banana

      Husband loved this blended cocktail, but it was too boozy for me. Nice coffee banana flavor

  • Rice and peas

    • Stephenn31 on August 11, 2024

      It was ok. I probably didn’t salt enough. I made the red kidney beans in the pressure cooker which worked ok.

  • Steamed cabbage

    • Stephenn31 on February 01, 2024

      Simple but nice. I added a bit of soy sauce when first cooking for umami. A bit of char helped too instead of just steamed

  • Honey mac 'n' cheese

    • Idril on June 24, 2024

      I didn’t understand this recipe - the measurements didn’t really make sense. 1kg of dried macaroni is required but is is an absolutely enormous amount and simply not proportionate to the amount of sauce and level of seasoning in the instructions. I assumed this was an error so went with adding only half the macaroni. I also added an extra dash of salt as otherwise there would only be the salt from pasta water (mostly poured away) and the cheese but given it’s a mild cheddar and mozzarella, this is minimal. I used cheese crackers for the top and tripled the amount. This was by far the nicest part. Wouldn’t make again - firstly because the recipe is faulty and secondly because it was okay with making half the amount of pasta but still I’ve had much nicer macaroni cheese. A disappointment as first recipe I’ve cooked from this book and it looks promising. I won’t give up but not a good start.

Publishers Text

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 from different cultures 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 from home such as Garlic butter lobster and Trini doubles. 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 beanburgers and Banana fritter cheesecake.

The most important thing, we think, is the togetherness food brings­ – the same happiness we have with our family. 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, get your ingredients, turn on a likkle music, and let's get cooking!
