True, there’s an argument for the blanketing stodge of Beige Food, too, but it’s not a case of either/or). One of my aids in fighting the grimness outside has been this persuasively upbeat book by Craig and Shaun McAnuff who are brothers from South London of Jamaican heritage. Then use a frying pan with 1 tbsp of olive oil on medium-high heat and fry the onion, garlic and scotch bonnet pepper/chillies (all chopped) for 3-5 mins. I don’t really understand why the ingredients are listed after the method, either, as it’s a bit weird tbh.The first recipe we tried was Pepper Steak, a rich, mouth-watering meal with a fiery kick that I just had to share with you! There are plenty of recipes to try: I'd certainly like to try cooking the Vegan shepherds pie, a giant patty and Rasta Pumpkin pasta to start with. Please hit like if you enjoyed this review and let me know of any other cookbooks or comforting recipes you think I should try.

Think Potato and chickpea curry with roti, Jerk cauliflower wings, Coconut, black-eyed pea and sweet potato stew, and Plantain cookies. I can’t wait to try making some of the recipes and see for myself what my students were talking about.Mackerel Run Down a traditional dish that combines tender fresh and dried mackerel with sautéed vegetables and a rich spiced coconut sauce. Anyhow if you have been looking for a very accessible plant-based Caribbean cookbook to complement your Bryant Terry collection, this is fab and doesn't go over the same territory (this is more like a pure UK Caribbean with way less cajun influence etc).

In a bowl, season the beef with the salt, pepper, thyme, paprika, all-purpose seasoning and soy sauce/browning.

Craig and Shaun charmed cooks everywhere with their essential introduction to home-cooked Caribbean food in Original Flava. Rastafari is an expression of unity with all things, and the Ital diet reflects that through a sense of peace and togetherness with the natural world. In April 2016, they launched the Original Flava brand, sharing videos of them cooking simple Caribbean recipes. Classic recipes like Ackee ‘n’ Saltfish, Oxtail, Curry goat, Jerk Chicken and Caribbean favourites like Garlic butter lobster and Trini doubles.

A really refreshing and enjoyable cookbook that I would recommend to any Caribbean/spicy food lovers. Our Mum and Nanny taught us to cook, and Original Flava is all about meals that are vibrant, lively, exciting, and full of the influences from different cultures that make the Caribbean island of Jamaica so wonderful.
