Caribbean Recipes "Old & New" is a comprehensive Caribbean cookbook with over 400 recipes, some originals plus new recipes created in the Caribbean style of cooking. Many recipes come from the author’s restaurant, "The Cove" in Barbados.

The book includes some of the author’s biography, hints and substitutes concerning food preparation, and a glossary of Caribbean foods. Each chapter is color-coded in bright Caribbean colors and contains a little story followed by the appropriate recipes and food photography. The pages are illustrated with original watercolor art sketches done by the author’s father, Gordon Parkinson, who is an artist well known throughout the Caribbean. The book is printed in large font for ease of reading, with recipes that are easy to follow. It also contains a page at the end entitled "My own recipes" for you to add any new or given Caribbean recipes.

An outstanding compilation of Bahamian & Caribbean Cuisine! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

As an American descendant of Bahamian immigrants, I've always been fascinated by my family's tales of delicious island dishes. Many of those dishes were duplicated here in South Florida when my great-grandparents immigrated to the States, but many others remained a mystery to me. Imagine, then, my delight at finding Lady Igrid Darling's wonderful compilation of Bahamian and Caribbean cuisine. It's a great mix of the sophisticated and the every-day. As I read the recipes to them, my mom, aunts and cousins sat around reminiscing and sharing stories about the various mouth-watering dishes, fresh fruits and vegetables contained therein. This delightful cookbook brought back memories for my family, and will now build memories for me. At their insistence, I've now purchased three additional copies for my mom, sister and others to share. I'm thrilled with my purchase and will use this cookbook for many years to come, both learning about and sharing my culinary heritage with today's generation of Allen descendants.

No need to be a customer of the restaurant to love this. 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This cookbook is a delight, mixing fresh, seasonal ingredients in surprising but always appetizing ways -- and best of all, using recipes that are not arcane or terribly time-consuming (but do expect to spend a fair amount of time chopping). My personal favorites are two unusual summer dishes, one a fruit gazpacho and the other a hot blueberry soup with coconut milk and lime. Yum! I *will* seek out the restaurant when next I'm in the Pacific Northwest.

Full of creative and mouth-watering recepies! 5 out of 5 stars.

The recipes in this book hold up to the high quality of food served in the restaurant. I have spent many mornings munching on fresh homemade scones, and my palate waters at the thought of the many varied deserts inside. Every recipe is a treasure in itself, and no kitchen can truly be complete without them.

We've waited for Judith¹s Recipes and it was well worth it! 5 out of 5 stars.

The Kingston Hotel Cafe has been my family and friends favorite place for the best food on the Kitsap peninsula. Now to be able to recreate all my favorite recipes from Braided Salmon and Halibut with Sorrel sauce to the Hazelnut Torte and all her wonderful soups is very exciting. The cook book is fabulous as is the author who has created it. Thanks Judith!!!

Editorial Review:

Traditionally Cuban women believed that cooking was one of the most important gifts they could give to their families. In Cuban Chicks Can Cook, the Indispensable Guide to Basic Cuban Favorites, author Ana Quincoces Rodriguez will convince you that they had the right idea. Her book will entertain and amuse you with a diverse collection of easy-to-follow Cuban recipes and sample menus.

Quincoces Rodriguez begins with the basics by instructing you to buy three items that are the “holy trinity” of Cuban cuisine — a head of garlic, a green bell pepper, and a Spanish onion. Armed with these ingredients and a few other items, you’re ready to begin preparing and feasting on her delicious and authentic recipes! Quincoces Rodriguez shares her Cuban culture through personal stories interspersed throughout sections that include soups and stews, rice and meat dishes, and finger foods and desserts. Finally, you will learn how to make both the wildly popular mojito, a rum drink garnished with fresh mint, and café con leche, a coffee drink that most Cubans can’t live without every morning.

Cuban Chicks Can Cook doesn’t emphasize perfection, but instead provides an inside look at a culture that embraces food with the same enthusiasm it has for life — spicy, hot, and delectable!

Nice Coffee Table Book 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is a beautiful book, with lots of nice pictures and plenty of narrative about Puerto Rico. The recipes are from San Juan's star chefs and showcase their fusion cuisine. This is not a book of recipes of typical Puerto Rican cuisine--in fact, the number of recipes is pretty low.

I love this book. It is about time that people open their eyes and palates to such a tasty cuisine especially that the United States has been involved with the gorgeous island of Puerto Rico since 1898. It is like no other Latin cuisine.

As an avid reader of Puerto Rican cookbooks, I am always on the look out for an interesting new title. This cookbook, is beautifully photographed and has wonderful stories about the chefs. The recipes are really interesting and have ingredients that I would not normally have seen in my mom's kitchen, look at the pasteles recipe and you will see what I mean. Can't wait to show off our new recipes at a dinner party.

Editorial Review:

Throughout five centuries, Puerto Rico has developed an internationally renowned cuisine, which incorporates Caribbean ingredients and a long tradition of culinary culture. In this book, the profiles and recipes of nine great chefs demonstrate human and professional aspects of their careers, and how by their efforts-and that of many of their colleagues-Puerto Rico has turned into the gastronomic capital of the Caribbean.
