Description
As the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, Marie Mitchell cooks to understand and celebrate recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. In Kin, her hotly anticipated debut cookbook, she shares dishes from the Caribbean and its diaspora. Accompanied by gorgeous photographs, many shot in the Caribbean, the book's 80 recipes blend influences from South Asia, Africa, and Latin America in crispy Saltfish Fritters, Honey Jerk Wings with Fluffy Cassava Fries and Hot Pepper Sauce, garlicky Mojo Roast Pork, Sweet Tangy Coleslaw, and Creamy Tomato Curry. Her breads, desserts, and drinks evoke the islands and are stunningly easy: coconut bread buns, a Ginger Drizzle cake, Summer Rum Punch. Marie's food is subtle and playful, layering different notes and spices carefully to create delicate, rewarding flavors perfect for home cooks.
