Reviews

In Food Culture in the Caribbean, Lynn Marie Houston draws heavily on the region's history to illustrate how the cuisine has developed. This is a well-researched and scholarly book that manages to be both accessible and quite enjoyable. Food Culture in the Caribbean is part of the Food Culture Around the World series, which includes Mexico, Japan, Italy and Spain. If the Caribbean edition is an indication of the standard of the series, then they're clearly worth checking out.
