True, there’s an argument for the blanketing stodge of Beige Food, too, but it’s not a case of either/or). Anyhow if you have been looking for a very accessible plant-based Caribbean cookbook to complement your Bryant Terry collection, this is fab and doesn't go over the same territory (this is more like a pure UK Caribbean with way less cajun influence etc). That one detail is what truly keeps this from being a favourite for me simply because I’m not sure how feasible some of these recipes would be. The most important thing, we think, is the togetherness food brings­ - the same happiness we have with our family.There are plenty of recipes to try: I'd certainly like to try cooking the Vegan shepherds pie, a giant patty and Rasta Pumpkin pasta to start with. Caribbean food makes for brilliant vegan dishes because it relies on fresh and vibrant fruit and veg from plantain to pineapple. Please hit like if you enjoyed this review and let me know of any other cookbooks or comforting recipes you think I should try. This delicious, vibrant Caribbean-influenced cookbook from the bestselling duo behind Original Flava includes over 100 easy recipes. Presented with mouthwatering pictures and engaging text that makes you want to cook, the recipes are easy to follow and written in an engaging way that isn't gimmicky.

This spicy tofu curry went down a real treat and I would happily devour this again and again (infact we froze leftovers and I have already had those too). This delightful book provides many flavorful vegan recipes to highlight the local ingredients and foods. If the tofu you have is fairly soft, leave it covered between 2 plates in the fridge for at least an hour. In a large frying pan, heat some olive oil and the onion and garlic and cook down for 5-7 minutes over a medium-high heat until soft.
