Customer Review: Delicious & Exciting, Easy to Shop-for and Cook Recipes
As a Jamaican-born person who became a vegetarian as an adult, I feared that I’d be giving up a lot of good, old fashioned “home food.” But this book show that that need not be the case — a lot of traditional dishes are already vegetarian, or easy to be vegetarian — plus the book has a good number of creative dishes that are similar to traditional meat-based ones without being silly so-called “substitute” foods. This really is a very good cookbook — easy to follow and shop for recipes, vast majority with reasonable cooking times for working people. Highly recommended.
Customer Review: “A Great Cultural Book on Great I-Tal Food”
I had the pleasure of meeting and dining in the home of Yvonne Mc Calla Sobers of Kingston, Jamaica in July 1997. It was indeed memorable, to sit and rest after the long drive from the northcoast, in the hot midday, and enjoy the quiet breezy veranda of the Lingunea Mansion gifted to her by her childhood friend, Prime Minister Hon. Michael Manley, Chatting in depth about Jamaica, Food and Life, with her Sons and Herself, and reminesing of a childhood in Jamaica when “Bustamante Backbone” was a treat. The Ben Johnson Vegetable Stew, made of all the great leftovers and pieces of vegetable in the fridge made for an adventurous treat on a hot afternoon, when shopping was out of the question. Sweet, Flavorful, Rich, Filling, Heaven in a bowl. Yvonne treated us to her Fried Breadfruit, and some creamy vegeterian Solomon Gundy, which I have yet to locate outside Jamaica, namely in Kingston. Her conversations about the 38 different Mango’s that were introduced to Jamaica and the West Indies, assures you that this isn’t just some Local Cook. We brought with us 2 bunches of country Gynip to the dinner party, and that was the payment for the truly fabulous country delicacies. approximatly $1.00 u.s. Unbelievable. Indeed Mrs Sobers, is an internationally known consultant, responsible for bringing many international development projects closer to the people of Jamaica, instead of just the Tourist Regions. Hearing Her name mentioned daily on the radio stations in Jamaica, and seeing her Photograph in the Newspapers Islandwide, makes one know this is a Very Special Lady, and to be invited to sit on her special part of the earth and enjoy the treat of her hand is truly a dream come true for this aspiring cookbook writer. I Advise, if you are looking for a Great New concept in Vegeterian Healthy Cooking Buy This Book and Share it With someone You Love. My Recommendations - Hot and Spicy Shepards Pie, Ben Johnson Stew, Cashew and Gungo Loaf, Jamdown Curry, JamaicanStyle Veggy Burgers, Maro! ons, Callalalu - in all the styles; and of course Breadfruit, Tropical Gingerbread, Number 11 Mango Chutney named for one of the 38 types of Mango found in Jamaica; and Chef Yvonnes’ Special Ital Rasta Pasta; (much better than that place on the hill in ochi.) This book is recommended for Senior Citizens, Dieters, Fat Free and Low FatDiets, Diabetics, Children, and Fussy Folks. The food is so delicious they will never know how healthy it really is. Guaranteed.

Customer Review: The Slippery Slope
I had firmly vowed not to buy anymore cookery books…then succumbed to this. I cooked my way through it in record time, and found the recipes both straightforward and inspirational, just the thing to make cooking a pleasure after a hard day at work! The down side: it has set me off on my cookery book addiction again.
Customer Review: Not everyday cooking
Dont be fooled by this books title - every occasion i dont think. Dont expect to pick up this book to cook an everyday meal. Its all gourmet so great if you have dinner parties but definitely dont bother otherwise. Lovely pictures though.

Fast-and-Easy Black Beans & Rice
Contributed by Jennifer Severt

1 can black beans
1 can stewed tomatoes
Celery (optional)
Onion, diced (to your liking)
Taco or chili seasoning to taste
1 package boil-in-bag brown rice

Boil rice for 10 minutes. Empty into saucepan and add tomatoes, beans, celery,

onions, and seasoning. Simmer for about 30 minutes. Serve hot. (This can also be

microwaved: Boil rice for 10 minutes in a microwave-safe bowl. Empty into pot, add

remaining ingredients, and nuke for another 5-7 minutes). Note: This also makes

GREAT burritos. Just fill heated flour tortilla with the mixture. Add cheese or soy

cheese if you like, and top as desired.
