Old Jamaica... July 18, 2008
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
Ahh... The memories of my mothers cooking when she was alive came flooding back once I purchased this book. I know how to cook the recipes but I wanted to have the book as a momento as I never write my recipies down.
It isn't just a cookbook, the book interspersed with stories of Levi's upbring and his adventures as a young man.He is an amazing man just like a lot of older Jamaicans. There are also beautiful pictures of the island rickety old signs that have fallen down but still manage to sucessfully advertise the spicy, delicious food to be had in the next building, lol.
This book is lovely. A pleasure to have at my house and the recipes are all authentic, rustic Jamaican cooking. It actually makes you feel good. Break out the rum punch and have a pattie cooked and prepared by your own hand and you'll never look back.
Enjoy!
Love it.... June 12, 2008

The bloke's story is inspiring and he comes across brilliantly on TV. The cook book does not disappoint. Great recipes, Great man. And no , I am not a relative, friend or business associate!

Like many people I watched Levi Roots on Dragons Den...
...and was delighted he got his money.
I have also enjoyed many bottles of his sauce, which is wonderful and so with eager anticipation I pre-ordered this book which has just arrived.
From the foreword by Peter Jones, to the Levi Roots story it is a fun but inspiring read.
But then there are the incredible recipies. (After all that is what a cookbook is all about!)
So many cookbooks today seem to have the same old recipies in them, just with a few celebrity tweaks here and there. I mean how many new ways are there with Lasagna?
This is a million miles from those books. The recipies are authentic, different and so far are easy to cook. They seem to sum up (even though I have yet to visit the Carribbean) the vibrancy and simplicity of rural Caribbean cooking.
I am really looking forward to cooking my way through this book, which has been an inspiration to read.
Recommended.
