Original Flava: Caribbean Recipes from Home

Product Information

I don't normally review but seriously, the red pea stew is one of my all-time fav comfort foods and it's the best base recipe I've found and I'm so happy to have it in an actual book. In April 2016, they launched the Original Flava brand, sharing videos of them cooking simple Caribbean recipes. Natural Flava brings together Ital inspiration, punchy Caribbean flava and quick and easy recipes in this feel-good cookbook.

There's lots of interesting recipes for plantains, a squash wellington that I've never seen before, some porridge bowls, and more!Welcome to our Caribbean vegan fusion series bringing you Caribbean infusion flavour from around the world. 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. Biography: Craig and Shaun McAnuff, raised in London and of Jamaican descent, are bringing Caribbean food to the masses.

I work with students from the Caribbean, so I was always curious about the foods they grew up eating. Craig and Shaun McAnuff are all about maximum flava, and these are recipes that are filling and flava-ful, and just happen to be vegan too. There really is much to love here, especially if this is a cuisine you want to try as the recipes look both delicious and accessible and cover a range of scenarios and influences that will make you drool. True, there’s an argument for the blanketing stodge of Beige Food, too, but it’s not a case of either/or).

The most important thing, we think, is the togetherness food brings - the same happiness we have with our family. We want to give you platefuls that taste like grandma's food so there are recipes for classics like Ackee 'n' Saltfish and Curry goat, and Caribbean favourites from home such as Garlic butter lobster and Trini doubles.
