Notes about Recipes in this book

• Jerk marinade

  • Stephenn31 on August 22, 2025

    A nice marinade but not my favourite jerk marinade.

• Roasted tomato & white bean soup

  • lkgrover on July 25, 2023

    Excellent vegan (dairy-free) tomato soup with beans and fresh herbs. My substitutions: parsley for cilantro; commercial garlic paste instead of this book's recipe. Used canned Great Northern beans. Also, I added the herbs to the onion/garlic/tomato paste mixture rather than roasting them with the tomatoes.

• Jerk-marinated pork anticuchos

  • Stephenn31 on August 22, 2025

    Excellent. Would definitely make again and not change a thing.

• Spicy tomato salad

  • Stephenn31 on May 26, 2025

    I made a less spicy version of this with a bit of Portuguese hot sauce instead of the habanero oil, but the dressing was great and it was a fun change on a salad. I will make again and try the dressing on a variety of different veg.

• Corn salsa

  • Stephenn31 on August 22, 2025

    Turned out better than I expected. The grilled corn was a nice addition. The lime's acidity balanced out the heat and added to the freshness.

• Steamed cabbage

  • Stephenn31 on August 31, 2024

    Delicious. Will make again. Balanced. Nice bit of spice.

• Caribbean-spiced steamed fish

  • lkgrover on October 24, 2023

    Loved this steamed fish with lemon & spices. I used orange roughy fillets; wrapped in parchment paper (because banana leaves are not available here).
