Life and Food in the Caribbean
Beneath the brilliant tropical umbrella stretching from Trinidad to Jamaica, many different peoples have settled over the centuries and developed a vibrant hybrid culture and cuisine. Drawing extensively upon original sources, such as diaries, letters and household accounts, as well as on her own personal experience of the islands' kitchens, Cristine MacKie builds up a fascinating portrait of these displaced people. She gives us an insight into their everyday lives, their cultural and culinary traditions and how they adapted to their new environment. Woven into this evocative account of the Caribbean, past and present, are more than 100 recipes. This book is an invaluable source of reference for the Western cook, and an inspirational guide for the traveller.

Culinary Colonialism, Caribbean Cookbooks, and Recipes for National Independence
Women across the Caribbean have been writing, reading, and exchanging cookbooks since at least the turn of the nineteenth century. These cookbooks are about much more than cooking. Through cookbooks, Caribbean women, and a few men, have shaped, embedded, and contested colonial and domestic orders, delineated the contours of independent national cultures, and transformed tastes for independence into flavors of domestic autonomy. Culinary Colonialism, Caribbean Cookbooks, and Recipes for National Independence integrates new documents into the Caribbean archive and presents them in a rare pan-Caribbean perspective. The first book-length consideration of Caribbean cookbooks, Culinary Colonialism joins a growing body of work in Caribbean studies and food studies that considers the intersections of food writing, race, class, gender, and nationality. A selection of recipes, culled from the archive that Culinary Colonialism assembles, allows readers to savor the confluence of culinary traditions and local specifications that connect and distinguish national cuisines in the Caribbean.
