From Publishers Weekly
Caribbean cuisine blends West African, French, Portuguese, East Indian, Spanish, English, Dutch and Chinese heritages. In serving portions from this melting pot, Harrisa native Jamaican and an importer of Caribbean foods to the U.S.offers "everyday fare and tasty bits and pieces" ranging from party beverages (e.g., tamarind drink) to main courses (pot roast calypso). In addition, Harris traces a brief history of Caribbean cookery. His book is a good place to test your mettle on highly spiced foods and flavors. However, some recipesrequiring the entrails, head and feet of lambs, and pigs' tailswill appeal only to devoted followers. And if you live in an area where fresh shark, conch, chayote and callaloo are hard to come by, you may have to do some nimble improvising, though the author does suggest alternative ingredients and lists Caribbean food distributors in this country.

From Library Journal
Home cooking from the Caribbean. Harris is a native of Jamaica, but recipes come from all parts of the region. The influence of the European and Asian settlers is evident in what has become the native food, with Gouda Cheese Soup, Poisson en Blaff, and Arroz con Pollo all part of the mix. Caribbean food is popular now; Elizabeth Lambert Ortiz's Complete Book of Caribbean Cooking (M. Evans, 1983. pap.) is a good standard guide, but larger collections could add this too. JS

Reader Reviews
My sister has this book and I was impressed by the range of recipes it carries. (see the Search Inside the Book for a sampling) The format is easy to use, with the list of ingredients down the side of the page next to the instructions. At a glance, you can see if you have on-hand what the recipe requires. Some ingredients are not on the average American's cupboard shelf, but the author tells where to search for them (Hispanic grocery stores) or suggests a substitution. The glossary goes into more detail on this, such as explaining the six forms of coconut (grated, shredded, coconut water, milk, cream & oil). Cook up an island feast for a party of friends or just treat yourself. This book makes it easy.
