This is a lovely, vibrant, colourful and feel good cookbook from the South London brothers, Craig and Shaun McAnuff, a collection of tasty recipes from Jamaica and the Caribbean, influenced by different cultural food traditions present in the region. The dishes celebrate food teeming with flavours, and the McAnuff brothers present the beautifully illustrated cookbook with style, verve, fun, and heartwarming attitude. The recipes have simple straightforward instructions that make them incredibly easy to follow for anyone. The recipes that caught my attention were vegetarian as I am one, such as the authentically Jamaican Pumpkin Rice, the Indian and Trinidadian Rotis and the flatbread, Doubles, Chickpea Curry to have with them, and the Plantain and Chickpea Curry. Meat and fish eaters are well catered for with the likes of Goat Curry and Honey Roasted Jerk Salmon. For those seeking that sunshine feel of the Caribbean, there are a range of drinks, such as the traditional Rum Punch, Blue Electric Bolt and Ginger Spice-It-Up Punch. Many thanks to Bloomsbury for an ARC.
