Here are TWO great Caribbean cookbooks that are hard to find together!
(If you are interested in just one of these cookbooks, let me know and I can separate them.)
BOTH books are in lightly used condition with minimal wear to the covers from reading and re-shelving. INSIDE the pages are at least 99% free of any marks, stains or writing.
First, The Caribbean Pantry Cookbook: Condiments and Seasonings by Steven Raichlen
This is a hard cover book with a collection of 70 Caribbean recipes, covering marinades, sauces, oils, vinegars, jams, jellies, chutneys, pickles, relishes, sweets, snacks and drinks. The dishes include Sauce Chien, Mojito, Tamarind Banana Chutney, Pickled Limes, Jamaican Gingerbread and Passion Fruit Rum.
And the RARE cookbook...
Cafe Mima Cuban Cookbook
(Cocina Cubana) by Yoly N. Perez
The book is arranged in Menu style, with specials of the day and a la carte items. Just pick a day and you have a whole menu presented to you. The recipes are straightforward and the pictures accompanying each recipe are artfully constructed; they have a very personal, handcrafted feel to them.
Ultimately, however, the proof is in the pudding - so far I have tried Moros y Christianos (rice and beans), Papa Rellena (potato stuffed with ground beef), and Platanos Maduros Fritos (fried ripe bananas.)
REMEMBER----books are mailed via media rate mail to give you the best deal on shipping. The down side is that media rate mail can take up to three weeks for delivery.
