Review

A Taste of Haiti provides both connoisseurs and novices of Haitian cuisine a chance to expand their culinary skills. -- Gary Pierre-Pierre, Haitian Times

This book is not only a handy reference; it is also a testimony of love, family harmony, and strong determination. -- Yvon Nicolas, Haiti Progres --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Product Description

This is the first Haitian cookbook on the North American market! With African, French, Arabic and Amerindian influences, the food and culture of Haiti are fascinating subjects to explore. From the days of slavery to present times, traditional Haitian cuisine has relied upon staples like root vegetables, pork, fish, and flavor-enhancers like Pikliz (picklese, or hot pepper vinegar) and Zepis (ground spices). This cookbook offers over 100 traditional Haitian recipes, including traditional holiday foods and the author's favorite drinks and desserts. Information on Haiti's history, holidays and celebrations, necessary food staples, and cooking methods will guide the home chef on a culinary adventure to this beautiful island. Recipe titles are given in English, Creole, and French. Complete with b/w photos and illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars go buy it, May 19, 2002
By Marjorie Fortin (New york New york) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Taste of Haiti (Hardcover)
As a hatian american i've been looking for years for a haitian cookbook, but just like the author stated in her book you just couldn't find any. This book is very easy to read and understand. This book has your everyday dishes and recipes for special occasians, there is something in it for everyone. You can find the ingredients at your supermarket. And what i love is that she puts the english, french, and creole when she titles the recipe. That way everybody knows what she is talking about. It's true good thing comes to those who wait. I can't brag enough about this book. Just like i said go buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not the First Haitian Cookbook - But An Excellent Resource, September 13, 2005
Although this is not the first Haitian cookbook on the North American market, it is an excellent resource! "A Taste of Haiti" is filled with authentic recipes and family remembrances of Haitian foodways. It is a great introduction to Haitian cooking. Also recommended, "The Art & Soul of Haitian Cooking". An award winning cookbook published in 2001 by The Haitian Institute in Washington, DC.
