Does anyone know of a good Caribbean/West Indian cookbook which features traditional recipes?
Can you answer spicequeen's question about Caribbean Vacations?:
I'm looking for a cookbok that has recipes like gauva cheese, nankatai, tamarind balls, ras gulla, ras malai, peera, goja, cheese rolls, cheese pie, currant roll, salara, beef patty, etc. Too many so-called caribbean/west indian cookbooks feature tourist type food and not REAL caribbean food. Please help me find a good cookbook. By the way, I have family in Grenada and Trinidad( so I don't mind buying a Trini book if it has what I'm looking for. Thanks.
