From Booklist
To raise money in support of the Grenada Relief Fund for victims of 2004's Hurricane Ivan, Morgan Freeman has solicited a bevy of Hollywood celebrities to adorn this compilation of Caribbean recipes with their familiar images. Alfre Woodard admires Mustique. Tom Hanks lauds St. Barth's. Tim Robbins recalls good times in St. Croix. Katie Couric shares her vacation in Anguilla. Ben Vereen revels in Jamaica. From these island resorts, local restaurateurs share recipes they serve their guests. Befitting these beachy locales, recipes feature seafood and tropical produce. Fruit soups, composed salads, lobster with herbed butter, and chocolate shells filled with coconut ice cream well define the product of laid-back resort kitchens. Such sophisticated examples of contemporary cuisine contrast with more traditional dishes such as ackee with salt fish, jerk chicken, and peas and rice. Color photographs throughout show off both the food and the photogenic celebrities. Mark Knoblauch

Reader Reviews
The other day I went through my cookbooks, to see if I could weed some out, because I have too many to mention. It's hard getting rid of a cookbook, especially one with a few recipes in it that you've come to love. But I've scanned the recipes I need to keep forever into my MacBook. However, there were an even dozen I couldn't part with. These are books I turn to time and time again, even though I consider myself somewhat of a gourmet chef. Morgan Freeman's COOKING FOR A CAUSE was one of the books I kept. Not only does Mr. Freeman's book help out the people of Grenada, who suffered during Hurricane Ivan, but it can help you out in the kitchen as well. Friday last I made the "Classic Conch Ceviche the Cayman Way" which you can find on page 47. It was delicious. I've also done the "Arroz Con Pollo" a Cuban dish from the Kitchen of Daisy's Grandmother." And that's the rub, is this classic Caribbean food or is it another book of recipes from fancy restaurants. Does it matter? The recipes make delicious meals with a distinct Caribbean flavor, which makes Mr. Freeman's book fit in nicely with my dozen Caribbean keeper cookbooks. And I have to give Mr. Freeman a hand for doing something for the people of Grenada. I was hunkered down in Trinidad, thanking Neptune the hurricane didn't come for me. But it's sad it went for others. This is a good cookbook, one which will help you turn out delicious meals, plus it's for a great cause. Two thumbs up and five stars from me.
