French Caribbean Cuisine $17.46 With its old-fashioned illustrations originally published in Vogue magazine during the thirties, French Caribbean Cuisine has the elegance of an album. It follows a rigorous construction from appetizers to drinks that I entrust the reader to appreciate . . . Elaborate and accessible at the same time, the recipes presented here draw their originality from family secrets, jealously safeguarded for generations. Others are the fruit of encounters with local master chefs. Or they represent the outcome of personal research . . . In short, they are the culinary showcases of fascinating lands, complex and diverse, quite unknown in the United States, but which are worth the journey. –from the Preface by Maryse Condé This marvelous cookbook contains over 150 authentic recipes from the French islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique. Favorites such as Avocado Charlotte, Pumpkin and Coconut Soup, Fish Crêpes Saintoise, and Fish Court Bouillon will beckon everyone to the table. The book would not be complete without its chapter on favorite drinks, featuring the famous Ti Punch. Also included are a helpful glossary on Caribbean food products and a list of sources where specialty foods and ingredients can be purchased. Stéphanie Ovide was born and raised in Guadeloupe. She is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology and author of Creole (Caribbean) Concise Dictionary (Hippocrene Books, 1996) and Cooking in the French Fashion (Hippocrene Books, 1999).
