Plentiful: Vegan Jamaican Recipes to Repeat

Product Information

With this book, she shows how exciting, diverse, and vibrant vegan flavours and Jamaican food truly are. Moore is the real thing: a proper eater and true cook with real flair for flavour; her recipes, along with her writing about them, are a-brim with such gleeful generosity, fusing the ingredients and traditions of Jamaica with foods of other cultures with Ottolenghi-like brio but entirely authentic to Moore’s own identity and appetite.

It was so hard to decide which of all the recipes in this wonderful book to share with you today, but inspired by my love of the Thai version, Yum Khao Tod (I go regularly to Supawan Thai in King’s Cross for its divine iteration of it) I plumped happily for her Crispy Rice Salad with Crunchy Green Vegetables and Salted Cashews.

I've already bought two copies as presents for friends, and I know I shall be giving a lot more out as the year progresses. And may I add that I purchased another one to give to someone who truly appreciates flavorful and well seasoned food.
