This is a black and white reissue edition of Caribbean Modern, previously published as a full-colour cookbook in 2015. This edition contains no photography.
When you think of the Caribbean, a hundred beautiful cliches come to mind - white sand, blue sky, salty breezes and balmy nights. But what of the food? Eating is at the heart of Caribbean life: people come together in the kitchen, someone starts cooking and soon there is laughter, music and fantastic food.
Shivi Ramoutar grew up in Trinidad, Leicester and London. As a supper club host and pop-up chef, Shivi turned to her favourite Caribbean dishes for inspiration. Her recipes are a wonderful melting pot of flavours: traditional Coconut Chicken Rundown sits alongside Red Bean and Spinach Mac 'n' Cheese and Baked Eggs Creole. Her food is fresh and zingy, exciting and exotic, but also satisfyingly homely and hearty. And not forgetting fun - Salted Tamarind Caramel Sundae, Smashed Banana Pancakes and Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake - without which the book just wouldn't be Caribbean.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Shivi's food is bright, colourful and hugely evocative of the deliciously spiced 'Caribbean' food that I have grown to love whenever I visit that part of the world. I want to eat everything in this book. * Thomasina Miers * It's here! It's here! Shivi Ramoutar's AMAZING debut book. * Sabrina Ghayour * Shivi specialises in light, modern recipes that showcase the most vibrant ingredients from the area and her new book celebrates this type of cooking, while remaining true to the hospitable Caribbean spirit. * Telegraph Food * If you've got the music, the flipflops, the shades and the sunny disposition, all you need is a spread of something special and you'll be 'liming'. Liming, as Trinidadian supperclub host Shivi Ramoutar puts it, is the specifically Trinidadian art of doing nothing, accompanied by bountiful food and drink. Ramoutar's debut cookbook is brimming with recipes that can make that happen: buttermilk fried chicken, jerk pulled pork and watermelon salad, crab backs and fried bakes, all bold flavours and bright colours to bring the islands to your picnic rug. * Guardian Cook * Caribbean Modern should convince any doubters that there is far more to the cooking of the rum islands than jerk chicken and mutton curry. * House & Garden *

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Many moons ago, Shivi was born in Trinidad into a colourful (in all senses of the word) family, and she was brought up between those beloved salty beaches, the grassy Leicestershire countryside (via a brief stint in the Big Apple) and the eclectic buzz of London, where she has now settled and which she calls 'home'. She left a career in law to pursue her passion for food. Her favourite pastimes are tinkling the ivories (her ambition was once to be a classical pianist), writing songs and tap dancing. She lives with her husband and her three little wildlings in a house of utter chaos.
The Guardian dubbed her a 'Caribbean Food Supremo', while British Airways' The Club magazine calls her the 'Queen of Contemporary Caribbean Cooking', and she has shared her unique, fresh and colourful approach to flavoursome Caribbean food across London and the UK, via her supper club and then subsequently through restaurant and brand collaborations, as well as in various national publications.
Shivi can regularly be found cooking her tropical fare on TV, appearing on Saturday Kitchen, James Martin's Saturday Mornings, and This Morning, as well as in her own series, Jimmy and Shivi's Farmhouse Breakfast, which airs on Saturday mornings on ITV.
Shivi is also a passionate spokesperson for promoting tourism in the Caribbean at Caribbean events for both travel and food publications throughout the UK.
