Description
Le Bris combines erudition and pleasure in her feast of a book where recipes and tales mingle harmoniously to satisfy our imagination, curiosity and taste. In it, we learn that recipes from the Islands, from which today’s Caribbean cuisine is inspired, are the roots of many culinary practices prepared around the world, and that these practices were first invented by freebooters traveling the Tropics in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. With her, we learn that freebooters invented an art for spicing and grilling, inspired most of the cocktails we enjoy today and laid the groundwork for Modern cuisine. A hundred or so easy-to-prepare recipes taken from the most renowned cooks of their day are accompanied by savory anecdotes. A must read for anyone wishing to recreate authentic Caribbean cuisine.
