It's worth replacing old copies of author Mason's first cookbook with this expanded second edition, which benefits from attractive full-color photographs and 75 original recipes. Mason invites home cooks to sample a rich array of dishes, from callaloo fritters to breadfruit ravioli with calabaza squash filling to guava bread pudding with coconut rum sauce. She also instructs them in traditional cooking techniques, such as making homemade, nonwheat flours (split pea, quinoa, sweet potato, cassava, and more), cracking and grating fresh coconuts, and toasting and blending spices.
VERDICT It can take some effort to source this book's ingredients and to preprepare its spice blends and sauces, but the results are worth it. A standout vegan title with unique flair. Highly recommended.
