The Caribbean Pantry Cookbook: Condiments and Seasonings from the Land of Spice and Sun (Hardcover)

by Steven Raichlen (Author), Martin Jacobs (Photographer)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
This second title in this series follows Aglasia Kremezi's The Mediterranean Pantry Cookbook (LJ 11/15/94). The recipes in Raichlen's collection of hot sauces, marinades, and rubs, chutneys, and pickles don't seem quite so exotic as those in the Mediterranean book, perhaps because other good Caribbean cookbooks have been around for a while. And they are not always particularly authentic renditions; Raichlen, a cooking teacher and author of many cookbooks, including Miami Spice (LJ 11/15/93), often puts his own particular spin on these Latin American condiments and dishes. Beautiful photographs and lots of appealing recipes, but not an essential purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous food layouts and color photos, January 13, 2001

By A Customer

It's worth buying this book just for the wonderful photographs. Not only is there a complete listing of exotic ingredients such as fruits, vegetables and spices, there is a nice assortment of recipes to choose from. This is definitely one of my favorite Caribbean books. If you like this book, you will love Angela Spenceley's latest book "A Taste of the Caribbean" featuring hundreds of tidbits about exotic fruits, vegetables and other tropical ingredients. This complete A-Z Caribbean cookbook is a valuable addition to any good cookbook library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pantry Bible for the Carribean Cook, November 20, 2000

By	owen (Vieques, P.R. United States) - See all my reviews

Steven Raichlen, author of The Barbeque Bible, once again gives an in depth treatment of his chosen subject. In the Carribean Pantry, Raichlen demystifies exotic fruits, vegetables, tubers and spices into laymen terms for the home cook. Proffesionals ,as well, can use this book as an invalueble point of refference.
