I have always dreamed of writing a very special cookbook that will reflect the food of my native island, filled with recipes that are as unique as their history. Simple to make and easy to understand with ingredients accesible in any grocery store, I also wanted to include useful information on the Carribbean ingredients used in the recipes, a little bit of history, and inspirational quotes to ponder while cooking. I wanted to make your cooking experience as if your kitchen were located in the tropical island of Puerto Rico. The food of my island is a blend of Spanish, Indian, European, and African ingredients. This food has a very unique taste with plenty of flavor and zest. This uniqueness of our food is one of the best reasons to make this cookbook a part of your collection. Tropical Cooking Made Easy gives you the origin of the island cuisine, the hows and wheres of the ingredients used in all of the recipes, illustrative photos, information on herbs and condiments, definitions, item name pronounciation, a section that describes in detail food items with their scientific names and nutritional and natural values. The easy to use index makes the recipes easy to find. Each recipe is well organized, easy to read, easy to follow, easy to make...No confusing abbreviations. Instructions are numbered so that you can avoid errors in preparation. Each recipe includes tricks of the trade and traditional solutions that clarify preparation instructions. Try our Pigeon Peas Rice (Arroz con Gandules), Galician Broth (Caldo Gallego), Paella, Spanish-Style Pork Roast (Lechon Asado), Plononos, Spanish-Style Steak with Onions (Biftec Encebollado), and Spanish Custard. I invite you to browse the pagesof Tropical Cooking Made Easy to meet a new world of island cuisine!

Explore the tropical flavors and rich culinary traditions of America’s island paradise. Puerto Rico, a land of gorgeous beaches and luxurious resorts, also boasts a rich culinary culture with a mix of influences: Spanish, African, Taíno (Native American), and French. For adventurous mainland cooks in pursuit of exotic flavors, this book offers exciting new territory, and for Puerto Rican descendants everywhere, it pays tribute to the beloved homeland. Jose Santaella presents foods that only a local would know: the tradition of lechón—spit-roasted suckling pig—in the mountains near the rainforest, or dumplings of mashed plantains with land crab hand-rolled in ramshackle shacks along the shore. Among the book’s more than one hundred recipes are classics like Salt Cod Fritters with Piqué and Fried Whole Snapper with Pineapple and Cilantro Salsa, as well as contemporary creations, such as Avocado and Papaya Salad and Curried Goat with Lime and Orange Rice. Cocina Tropical captures the flavors and spirit of this truly enchanting island.

When you think of the Caribbean, a hundred beautiful clichés come to mind - white sand, blue sky, salty breezes and balmy nights. But what of the food? Eating is at the heart of Caribbean life: people come together in the kitchen, someone starts cooking and soon there is laughter, music and fantastic food. Shivi Ramoutar grew up in Trinidad, Leicester and London. As a supperclub host and pop-up chef, Shivi turned to her favourite Caribbean dishes for inspiration. Her recipes are a wonderful melting pot of flavours: traditional Coconut Chicken Rundown sits alongside Red Bean and Spinach Mac 'n' Cheese and Baked Eggs Creole. Her food is fresh and zingy, exciting and exotic, but also satisfyingly homely and hearty. And not forgetting the fun - Salted Tamarind Caramel Sundae, Smashed Banana Pancakes and Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake - without which the book just wouldn't be Caribbean.

This engaging cookbook, the first to feature the tropical dishes of South India, demystifies the cuisine and offers more than one hundred recipes with light, tropical flavors and simple preparations, along with sumptuous photographs of the food and the region. Challenging the stereotypes that Indian curries are rich and heavy, difficult to prepare, and made with hard-to-find ingredients, this book introduces the light, tropical tastes of south India with accessible ingredients and simple methods. Adapting these south Indian recipes for the average kitchen, the author familiarizes the home cook with this lesser-known cuisine. An abundance of coconut and seafood, along with a host of exotic fruits and vegetables, including fresh hot chilies, distinguishes the curries of south India from those of north India. The focus is the traditional southern fare-dishes such as Rava Masala Dosa (wheat crepes stuffed with potato curry), Sambar (spicy stew of legumes and vegetables), and fish Aviyal (chunks of fish in an aromatic sauce of coconut and tamarind)-which is harder to find in restaurants outside of India. North Indian classics, also family favorites, like Lamb Korma, Tandoori Chicken, and Spinach Paneer are included. With everything from appetizers to desserts, this is an excellent introduction to Indian cooking. The author has an extraordinary talent for explaining unfamiliar cooking techniques, and specially commissioned full-color photographs provide helpful visual cues for preparing a wide variety of dishes. The inspired recipes, purposeful photographs, extensive notes on ingredients, practical menu ideas, and useful source list make it a primer on Indian cooking as well as a significant exploration of regional specialties.
