Book Description

November 3, 2010

Here is your passport to a world of distinctive, unforgettable food—125 delicious, authentic vegan recipes that showcase flavors and ingredients from across the Caribbean islands

If “Caribbean cuisine” makes you think of pineapples and coconuts, you’re missing out. The Caribbean islands are home to a rich cooking tradition that combines African, French, Spanish, British, Asian, and Indian influences, adds an unmistakable local flair . . . and tastes like paradise. A real secret is in the herbs and spices—with the right uncooked sauce, cooked sauce, or “wet seasoning” blend, you can transform everyday ingredients into Caribbean delights.

Caribbean Vegan will spice up your vegan diet like no other cookbook. Popular blogger Taymer Mason serves up 125 completely vegan recipes—for breakfast dishes, appetizers, entrées, sides, soups, desserts, and drinks that are anything but bland. Sample the local flavors of Barbados, Saint Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Grenada, and the French West Indies with:

  • Saint Lucian Bakes
  • Eggplant and Seaweed Accras
  • Bajan Soup with Dumplings
  • Rummy Rum and Raisin Ice Cream . . . and much more!

Enticing color photos and Island Tips explain the key ingredients, equipment, and techniques of Caribbean cuisine—so whatever your previous familiarity with Caribbean food, you’ll be cooking like an islander in no time.

About the Author

Taymer Mason grew up in a family of cooks who taught her to make—and love!—traditional Caribbean cuisine. She went vegan in 2006 while an undergraduate at the University of the West Indies and discovered that, far from being limiting, it was an exciting new way to cook her old favorites. Now she writes the popular cooking blog Vegan in the Sun. She lives with her husband and their cat in the French West Indies, but she appreciates the unique culture and cuisine of all the islands—and especially of her birthplace, Barbados.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious! October 11, 2010
Format:Paperback
Caribbean Vegan is already one of my favorite cookbooks. In this day and age of finding recipes on the internet, I can't encourage you enough to own this book for yourself. It's full of rich, satisfying recipes, with easy to follow instructions. I was new to both eating and cooking Caribbean cuisine, and I learned some great cooking techniques along the way. Some of my favorite recipes include the rum cake, lentil patties, split pea soups, and of course the tofish. The book includes everything from the basic sauces to cocktails to breads to seitan ham, etc. Taymer has experience in the food industry and it shows. She creates complex flavors in an authentic way. No other vegan or vegetarian cookbooks have these recipes, and if you live in the U.S. you may not even have access to the homestyle recipes that Taymer revised.

You will love these foods, do not delay! (Did I mention the gorgeous photos?)

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I tried so far has been so goood! October 24, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am not familiar with Caribbean food but I like food with spices but not too hot. I ordered this book from Amazon and followed through the instructions in this cookbook including making the Bajan Seasoning (it's a must and used in few recipes). This seasoning is good on everything. I tried the following recipes: Creole Rice, Creole Spaghetti, Curried TVP Stew, White Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie, Creole Ratatouille, Black-Eyed Pea Stew, Yellow Split Pea Dal, Eggplant Accras, and Barbadian Coconut turnovers. These were so easy to make and they are so tasty, spicy but not too hot.

I do recommend that you buy the habanero or Scotch Bonnet pepper (used in recipes), use gloves, and remove the seeds and membranes inside the pepper. This will reduce the heat of the pepper. If the food is too spicy for you, you can always reduce the amount of the pepper. The pepper adds a unique flavoring to the dish. 1/2 of a pepper goes a long way!

The dishes in this book are spicy (lots of spices) and very aromatic. It reminds me of Indian food but it is really different than that since some use thyme, basil, and green onions which are not used in Indian food. Really, I have never eaten this kind of meal before. This is a unique experience for me to try this kind of dish and I LIKE it! I am going to try the jerk seasonings and the rest of the recipes. I am so EXCITED and so glad I pre-ordered it.

The pictures really helped since I kind of want to know how the dish look like. Some have step-by-step pictures on how to make it.

This is a really GREAT cookbook and I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book October 12, 2010
By VejGurl
Format:Paperback
I love this book. Every recipe I've made from it so far has been a hit. The dishes range from standard curries to exotic (to this American) things like doubles and conkies and I love them all. All of the photos in the book are absolutely gorgeous and they're really helpful when trying to decide how to plate your dishes. Also, the more complicated and unfamiliar dishes come with step by step instructions, making them pretty much fool-proof. I really like that many of the recipes that require specialty items come with suggestions for substitutions. This book has already become a staple in my collection.
