Caribbean Potluck: Modern Recipes from Our Family Kitchen

by Suzanne Rousseau, Michelle Rousseau

Turquoise oceans, warm sultry nights, intoxicating music and fantastic food… we could all do with a little more of the Caribbean in our lives and this unique cookbook shows you how to recreate its unforgettable scents and flavours in your home kitchen. Suzanne & Michelle Rousseau are two well-travelled sisters who grew up in Jamaica and whose food is influenced by all the islands in the Caribbean, as well as Asia and Italy and England and Spain – a true ‘Mix Up and Blenda’ as the Jamaicans would say! The result is this wonderful collection of recipes – full of spices and seasonings and freshness and creativity: Light salads (Plantain with Avocado, Coriander & Manchego); Simple Dinners (Jerked Salmon with Fresh Fruit Salsa); Sunday Bests (Roast Pork with Crackling & Rum Sauce); Comfort Food (Sweet Potato Gratin, Pumpkin Rice) and Party Tricks (Rum-Flambéed Coconut Prawns) that will rejuvenate your palate and have you throwing the ‘sweetest fetes’ in town.
