[Redsteve · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent sampling of foods from the region, including the islands and coastal Mexico. A fair number of recipes seem traditional but the author often doesn’t state the specific location, and I’m interested in which regional variation it is. Modern recipes are sometimes attributed to a specific restaurant or chef, but more often not. 3 stars.

I've had this book for at least four years and I still regularly go back to it. Among my favourites are the brown stew fish and beef, patties, savoury and sweet cornbreads, banana muffins, festival, coconut cookies, sweet potato pone......

Although this book has no photos, the ingredients are easily accessable and instructions are simple. I get delicious food every time so this book remains one of my favourites and I have DOZENS of cookbooks!!!
