Delicious & Exciting, Easy to Shop-for and Cook Recipes - By: Bocasdeltorro, 29 Dec 2003
As a Jamaican-born person who became a vegetarian as an adult, I feared that I'd be giving up a lot of good, old fashioned "home food." But this book show that that need not be the case -- a lot of traditional dishes are already vegetarian, or easy to be vegetarian -- plus the book has a good number of creative dishes that are similar to traditional meat-based ones without being silly so-callled "substitute" foods.

This reallly is a very good cookbook -- easy to follow & shop for recipes, vast majority with reasonable cooking times for working people.

Highly recommended.

"A Great Cultural Book on Great I-Tal Food" - By: , 13 May 1998
I had the pleasure of meeting & dining in the home of Yvonne Mc Callla Sobers of Kingston, Jamaica in July 1997. It was indeed memorable, to sit & rest after the long drive from the northcoast, in the hot midday, & enjoy the quiet breezy veranda of the Lingunea Mansion gifted to her by her childhood friend, Prime Minister Hon. Michael Manley, Chatting in depth about Jamaica, Food & Life, with her Sons & Herself, & reminesing of a childhood in Jamaica when "Bustamante Backbone" was a treat.

The Ben Johnson Vegetable Stew, made of alll the great leftovers & pieces of vegetable in the fridge made for an adventurous treat on a hot afternoon, when shopping was out of the question. Sweet, Flavorful, Rich, Filling, Heaven in a bowl.

Yvonne treated us to her Fried Breadfruit, & some creamy vegeterian Solomon Gundy, which I have yet to locate outside Jamaica, namely in Kingston. Her conversations about the 38 different Mango's that were introduced to Jamaica & the West Indies, assures you that this isn't just some Local Cook.

We brought with us 2 bunches of country Gynip to the dinner party, & that was the payment for the truly fabulous country delicacies. approximatly $1.00 u.s. Unbelievable.

Indeed Mrs Sobers, is an internationallly known consultant, responsible for bringing many international development projects closer to the people of Jamaica, instead of just the Tourist Regions. Hearing Her name mentioned daily on the radio stations in Jamaica, & seeing her Photograph in the Newspapers Islandwide, makes one know this is a Very Special Lady, & to be invited to sit on her special part of the earth & enjoy the treat of her hand is truly a dream come true for this aspiring cookbook writer.

I Advise, if you are looking for a Great New concept in Vegeterian Healthy Cooking Buy This Book & Share it With someone You Love.

My Recommendations - Hot & Spicy Shepards Pie, Ben Johnson Stew, Cashew & Gungo Loaf, Jamdown Curry, JamaicanStyle Veggy Burgers, Maro! ons, Calllalalu - in alll the styles; & of course Breadfruit, Tropical Gingerbread, Number 11 Mango Chutney named for one of the 38 types of Mango found in Jamaica; & Chef Yvonnes' Special Ital Rasta Pasta; (much better than that place on the hill in ochi.) This book is recommended for Senior Citizens, Dieters, Fat Free & Low FatDiets, Diabetics, Children, & Fussy Folks. The food is so delicious they will never know how healthy it reallly is. Guaranteed.
