Missing recipe,
By Epsmom105@aol.com "Epsmom105" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Food of Jamaica: Authentic Recipes from the Jewel of the Caribbean (Food of the World Cookbooks) (Hardcover)
As a native of Jamaica I knew exactly what to look for in this book. Although this book contained many wonderful recipes from my country I was dismayed to find that it did not contain the recepe for Jamaican rum cake or any kind of fruit cake recipes. This cake is a tradition in most Jamaican households during the Christmas holidays and is very popular at weddings. A Jamaican wedding is not complete without rum cake or fruit cake.I hope the author will take this into consideration when writing the international edition.

Where is my curry goat?,
By Supaflyii "Music Lover" (MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Food of Jamaica: Authentic Recipes from the Jewel of the Caribbean (Food of the World Cookbooks) (Hardcover)
My mommy is jamaican and the books is ok. It has some of my favorite meals and deserts. But it does not have the curry goat recipie ! It does have oxtail, lamb, roti(thank goodness), pati and more. The book does a great job on explaining the history of the food, people and culture of jamaica. From the Maroons and the famous jerk chicken (by the way that recipie is in there) and the various influence of other cultures (india). Its worth buying..but still looking for a giant recipie book of the down home food from JA. Perhaps I'll have to write it! If its out there already someone please let me know.

Wonderful,
This review is from: Food of Jamaica: Authentic Recipes from the Jewel of the Caribbean (Food of the World Cookbooks) (Hardcover)
We were having a destination wedding in Jamaica and wanted to have the Jamacian theme for my daughter's shower. The receipes were easy to follow and tasted as good as you get in Jamaica.
