Original Flava: Caribbean Recipes from Home

Product Information

Craig and Shaun charmed cooks everywhere with their essential introduction to home-cooked Caribbean food in Original Flava. Think Potato and chickpea curry with roti, Jerk cauliflower wings, Coconut, black-eyed pea and sweet potato stew, and Plantain cookies . and pepper pot stew (though I had to add some umami stuff for depth of flavour - I think they left that out either cos they're not vegan or they wanted to make the recipes as simple as possible) and my fav recipe for spinner dumplings and the use of plantain is so bloody fun! There were a few ingredients I couldn’t get, but used alternatives and the dish was still VERY good! So I prescribe myself the Kitchen Cure, which is to say I lose myself in cooking and eating good things full of bright flavour.

Caribbean food makes for brilliant vegan dishes because it relies on fresh and vibrant fruit and veg, from plantain to pineapple. We also like to twist it up a likkle to give dishes our modern spin, so you can find recipes for Honey Roasted Jerk-Spiced Salmon, Plantain Beanburgers, and Banana Fritter Cheesecake.
