Trade Winds : Caribbean Cooking

Cristine MacKie's classic cookery book broke new ground when first published in the late 1980's. Now re-issued and available in the States for the first time, it still remains one of the definitive works on Caribbean cooking. Utilising diares and journals of the 18th and 19th century MacKie evokes the attitudes of the plantation owners, settlers and visitors to the islands and gives us an insight into the history and background of its peoples. Not just a recipe book, also a passionate love letter to the Caribbean, its people and its food.
