Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Born in Ghana, cookbook author Hafner (A Taste of Africa, Ten Speed, 1993) now lives in Adelaide, Australia, where she is well known for her popular TV cooking series. Now her show is coming to PBS, and this entertaining and informative cookbook is the companion volume. Hafner traveled throughout the Caribbean, from Cuba to Jamaica, to explore the cuisines of the individual islands and the influence African food traditions had on them, and her discoveries and "shocks of recognition" make fascinating reading. She's a real storyteller, and she writes with wit and enthusiasm. Jessica Harris covered some of this ground in Iron Pots and Wooden Spoons: Africa's Gifts to New World Cooking (LJ 5/15/89); most libraries will want Hafner's book, too.

Taste of the Caribbean,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dorinda's Taste of the Caribbean: African-Influenced Recipes from the Islands (Paperback)
I gave this book as a gift, to my mother the real cook, and she loved the recipes. She really enjoys trying foods from many different ethnic backgrounds. Some of the recipes ingredients you may have to tweak to your liking but I guess Dorinda Hafner did a great job if my mom likes it. Enjoy.
