The Caribbean is a corner of the world which never fails to stir the imagination. With its tropical richness, its music, its colourful history, and its famously relaxed lifestyle, the cluster of islands from the Bahamas in the north to Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti and Trinidad in the south have offered the world a centuries-long pageant of colour and excitement. The cooking of the Caribbean reflects that exotic tradition, bringing together the flavours of Africa, Spain, France, India and China in a style which is fresh, exhilarating and unique. The recipes in this book are a blend of traditional Caribbean cookery and modern recipes in a Caribbean style, designed to give you a wide selection of dishes from the islands in the sun. Each recipe includes a colour photograph, simple instructions, and has been triple-tested by The Australian Women's Weekly test Kitchen to ensure quality and taste.
