Product Description
Book Description
Written by practicing Jamaican cook of over 30 years, Enid Donaldson, The Real Taste of Jamaica provides recipes that are simple, time saving, and allow for substitution of ingredients. The book is divided into 9 sections: Starters Soups Vegetarian dishes Fish Chicken and Meat Dishes Sauces and Dressings Traditional Jamaican Baked Goods Desserts Beverages Each section opens with stories and anecdotes that remind you of the good ‘ole’ days when meat was cured by smoking, and sweet potato pudding was baked in an iron ‘dutch’ pot rather than an oven. Jamaicans at home and abroad are reminded of their childhood days and their culture and visitors return home determined to try their hands at a few of their new-found Jamaican favourites. Abundantly illustrated with photographs, line drawings and water colour images, The Real Taste will make your mouth water for more.

Eating in Style,
By Paula "Irie!" (CT, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real Taste of Jamaica (Paperback)
I first saw this book at a friend's house. And asked to borrow it. I read this book from cover to cover within a day. One of the beauties about this book is that you can read it without being a cook. There is much to be learned about Jamaican culture and food preparation. This book talks about the development of Jamaican food history. You will learn how the contributions of East Indians, Arawaks, Chinese, Africans and others have made Jamaican dishes so very appealing.

The Best Jamaican Cookbook Around,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Real Taste of Jamaica (Paperback)
This is the best cookbook for Jamaican cuisine that I've ever seen! The author is a well-known cook in Jamaica; therefore, she's an excellent source of information. The cookbook has many wonderful photos of the finished product (a feature that is not commonly found in cookbooks that are geared towards Jamaican cooking), and the recipes are very easy to follow. I am born of Jamaican parents, and I really wanted to find a good book that could help me cook authentic Jamaican dishes in an authentic way. I've had this book for seven years and I successfully made every dish that I've tried. The book covers all types of food (appetizers, entrees, desserts, drinks), and it has a glossary to help you learn about certain foods that are not commonly found outside of Jamaica. If you are serious about learning how to cook Jamaican food, this is the book to have. If you are unable to get this book in your home country, I would suggest contacting the Jamaica Tourist Board and finding out the names of some bookstores in Kingston, Montego Bay or Ocho Rios. Contact those stores directly. If someone is going over to Jamaica, have them get this book for you (it's a great gift). I just bought a copy for someone while I was in a bookstore Ocho Rios. It was being sold in hardback for $29.95 ($60.00 less than what it was being sold for on-line). I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to make authentic Jamaican food.
