Reseña del libro "Tropical Palate "Taste of the Islands" (en Inglés)"
Tropical Palate taste of the islands is a compilation of Tantalizing, exotic, recipes from Jamaica and other islands in the Caribbean.I have been preparing tropical exotic meals for my friends, family and co-workers for many years. Through their referrals, my unique style has taken me in different directions such as catering for Miami's elite, to owning restaurants, publishing three cookbooks, Miami Herald mention The Grio top 100 and NBC 6. I hope these recipes will enhance your taste buds beyond your expectations.There is an old saying, you never know how good the milk is until the cow dies. Growing up on a family estate in rural Jamaica, I never realized nor appreciated what it was to have such beauty and abundance growing all around me. I can sit back on the verandah and reminisce about the days of my mother's and grandmother's past. As I look out to where we had so many coffee trees loaded with ripe coffee ready to be picked, I recall how much I hated picking coffee. I could not bear to touch the camouflage lizards that were on the limbs. They used to scare the daylights out of me. I can still hear the sound of my mother's and grandmother's voices shouting "go pick the coffee! go chum the coffee! go parch the coffee!" If the coffee is parched too light, it's not strong enough, parched too dark, you have burnt it! Now it is known as different roasts and flavors. After beating and brewing the coffee, you can have a cup of the best coffee in the world. After all this hard work, you deserve to enjoy such delights as Lewis Property Freeze, Lewis Property Breeze, coffee cakes, ice cream and scones.
