Notes about Recipes in this book

• Green seasoning

  • Acarroll on May 29, 2022

    The flavors were so complex and deep. This would make a great base for so many things.

• Louisiana red beans and rice

  • Acarroll on June 09, 2022

    Hearty and delicious.

• Jollof rice

  • TinyCitiKitchen on July 08, 2025

    Tried this because it let me check two things off my long to-try list: Jollof Rice, and any one of Chef Kwame’s recipes. And WOW! I was blown away by the amount of flavor packed into this simple rice dish. Emphasis on flavor, not (despire presence of both hot sauce and curry powder) heat. In the final few minutes, I threw in a third of a packet of peas that I found lurking in my freezer, and some diced smoked duck breast, and had a meal I would be delighted to pay to eat. I’m delighted that the recipe for Obe Ata Din Din makes twice as much as this dish needs, so I’ve already got everything I need lined up to make it again. I expect to be repeating this one again and again — probably tossing in other random proteins and veg along the way.

• Curried crab run down

  • Acarroll on May 29, 2022

    This was quite the effort with a lot of nested recipes. I took a few shortcuts, like using seafood bouillon instead of homemade shrimp sauce and bottled Jamaican scotch bonnet sauce instead of pepper sauce. And just eyeballed some ginger and garlic instead of making GGP (I will make the GGP next time, but I didn't read ahead and had my blender occupied with the green seasoning. The "sauce" that came out of this dish was one of the best things I've ever tasted. We have leftover sauce and are going to use it as a salad dressing this week. The only reason this dish lost 1/2 star is that I would have appreciated an alternative listed for the live crabs. Cleaning them was a big process (although I'm sure I was slow since I had never done that before). Some lump crab meat would have worked well, or actually quite a few other proteins (scallops, shrimp, white fish, lobster, even tofu). This went into my rotation, but I'll definitely take a shortcut with the crabs next time.

• Snapper escovitch

  • Acarroll on August 07, 2022

    This was ok... the flavors of the marinade seemed a bit muddy. I thought it needed some starch with the meal so I served with mashed potatoes (I think that was a good decision). I did use a filet instead of whole fish. I enjoyed the meal but wouldn't jump to make it again.

• Jamaican beef patty

  • nick_4rr8uj on March 18, 2026

    A lot of work but Fire recipe

• Awaze tibs

  • cholloway on February 26, 2025

    NKO (nitter kibbe oil) takes 90 minutes to steep.

• Curried goat

  • Acarroll on April 27, 2024

    This was ok. A LOT of effort. And mine was incredibly bright green from the green seasoning, it didn't look like the picture. I made it with camel instead of goat which worked well.
