Dinner Ideas for the Haitian Cook

Haitian food is renowned for its ability to scintillate the palate, as it uniquely blends French, African, and Spanish influences. This book aims to inspire you to cook delicious, authentic Haitian food. The book offers simple collections of traditional Haitian recipes, and provide a source of reference and information for those of us who did not pay attention when our Haitian parents were cooking in the kitchen. I hope you continue to treasure these recipes as I have and pass on the Haitian tradition of cooking to our next generation. For many of us, we inspire to cook popular methods such as spicy Pikilz, tender Griot, and soul-warming Soup Joumou. This beautifully illustrated, delightfully annotated recipe collection consists of these flavor-filled Haitian recipes and so much more.
