Did you know that the Caribbean consists of a collection of over 7,000 islands, 13 countries, and a dozen or so territories around the southeast of Florida and northeast of South America? Needless to say, it’s a diverse set of island nations, and each island is unique. Caribbean food is known as a type of “fusion” cuisine and its flavors are full of energy and flavor. It truly is a melting pot of various cultures from African, Asian, and possibly even European. In recent years, veganism has been gaining in popularity as well. People have decided to go vegan for various reasons, including health and ethical ones. In fact, research after research has shown that veganism can help promote weight loss, reduce the risk of heart disease, and even help lower the risk of certain cancers. The goal of this Caribbean Vegan cookbook is to provide you with a curated collection of tasty and fun-to-make recipes that will not only satisfy your own cravings and bring you enjoyment, but impress your family and friends as well. This cookbook brings together the best of both worlds—that is, Caribbean flavors that are accommodating to individuals following veganism. A diverse and eclectic set of recipes are included in this cookbook including black rum cake, vegan curry, black bean mango wraps (just to name a few), and more.

Craig and Shaun McAnuff are bringing Da'Flava from the Caribbean to your kitchen! We're Craig and Shaun, two brothers from South London, but with Jamaica in our hearts and souls. 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. That's why we've travelled to Jamaica to bring you its authentic and fresh FLAVAs! Our motto is EAT: we make our recipes Easy, Accessible and Tasty. 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. We also like to twist it up a likkle to give dishes our modern spin, so you can find recipes for Honey roasted jerk-spiced salmon, Plantain beanburgers and Banana fritter cheesecake. The most important thing, we think, is the togetherness food brings – the same happiness we have with our family. We want to share this joy: a testament to the culture of Jamaica, the fun, fantastic FLAVAs, and the stories behind the food, straight from the people of Jamaica. So, get your ingredients, turn on a likkle music, and let's get cooking!

Many of us make poor food choices daily, leading to ill-health, lack of energy, and even sickness and disease. Have you ever thought about healthy cooking and eating and assumed it is too difficult, too expensive, or even too time-consuming? This perspective does not do justice to God’s desire for us to live our lives in abundant health and wellness. It does not have to be this way, and Dorrel McLaren has set about in her cookbook to show us that Something Different is possible if we choose a healthy diet and couple that with spiritual wellness. The Caribbean-inspired recipes in the book are tasty, inexpensive, and easily accessible to even the newest cook endeavoring to create a healthy meal. Dorrel uses ingredients that can be purchased at most large grocery stores and includes detailed explanations on how to prepare each dish best. If you want to try Something Different that leads to better health and quality of life, this cookbook is for you! If we “eat with the right attitude,” we can enjoy the full, vibrant, and happy life God intends for us. “A bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate.” (Proverbs 15:17, NLT) “This beautifully written gorgeously illustrated cookbook is a definitive text for anyone wanting to learn how to cook delicious easy plant-base meals to enhance their overall health.” ~ Lieutenant Colonel Verona Boucher, USAF, Retired “As a Clinician who believes and knows what you eat has an effect on your well-being, this cookbook gives you recipes that are wholesome and healthy.

Our rice and peas are made with coconut milk, kidney beans, and scallions, which give it a rich and creamy flavor that is characteristic of the Caribbean. Another popular dish is our Jamaican jerk tofu, which is a vegan version of the classic Jamaican dish. Our jerk tofu is made with a spicy marinade that is a blend of allspice, thyme, scotch bonnet peppers, and other aromatic herbs and spices. The tofu is then grilled to good, resulting in a smoky and flavorful dish that is a crowd favorite. We also offer a range of sides and appetizers, including plantain chips, sweet potato fries, and a variety of dips and sauces. Our plantain chips are made with ripe plantains that are sliced thin and fried until crispy. They are then sprinkled with a blend of spices that give them a sweet and savory flavor. Our sweet potato fries are oven-baked and seasoned with a blend of spices and herbs, resulting in a delicious and healthy side dish.
