Sugar, Spice and Feeling GoodFor Veda Nugent, Jamaica-born Ottawa chef and restaurateur, and her son Marrett Green, former TV journalist and now media relations specialist for Vancouver regional government, relocating did not mean leaving their wonderful tropical dishes behind. Sugar and Spice and Everything Irie: Savoring Jamaica's Flavors gathers some of their favorites, many of which have been featured in her eateries over the years. Irie, in Jamaican patois, is a greeting meaning things are okay. And they will be after sampling some of the specialties that can be created at home for everyone's enjoyment. 115 recipes such as Jerk Pork and Chicken Pat, Curry Goat, Oxtail and Lima Bean Stew, Ackee and Salted Codfish, Plantain Pudding, and Banana Rum Shake will delight fans of this most agreeable cuisine.
