Recenzii
'In Motherland, Melissa Thompson gives us a different view of Jamaican cooking: one from the other side of the Atlantic. She gives us a vivid history of the country and of her connections to it. Alongside the mouth-watering recipes, there's family history and anecdote and a glossary to aid novices. It is a masterful work and a must for any lover of the food of Jamaica and the Caribbean region or simply anyone who loves good food'
'Melissa captures her love of food and its roots deliciously'
'Recipes that draw you to the kitchen and a story that expands your world'
'Melissa Thompson's Motherland is a truly exceptional book, telling the story of Jamaica through its food, which cannot be separated from its history. About this Thompson is direct and - rightly - unsparing, and yet she manages to bring such joy at the same time: this is a true celebration of Jamaican food and Jamaica, not an airbrushed, whitewashed version. I marvel at this book, a beautiful product itself: it manages to combine a matter-of-fact honesty and illuminating attention to detail with such warmth and joy and - this is, after all a cookbook - deep deliciousness'
'The story of Jamaica, its people and the culinary influences it has absorbed, flows through and around the recipes'
'A beautifully eclectic collection of recipes that reflect the African, Asian, Indigenous and European roots of Jamaican food'
'Tracing the history of Jamaican food in a delicious fashion'
'A standout cookbook'
Descriere
Motherland is a celebration of Jamaican food from its roots to the dishes that have made it the unique cuisine it is today.
The cookbook - that features in-depth research into the evolution of the island's food - charts the contribution of indiginous Jamaicans, the Taino, and follows the impact of colonisation, and how those periods under Spanish and British rule left an indelible mark on the nation's gastronomy, including the introduction of pigs, ackee, saltfish, coffee, sugarcane and Easter bun, while enslaved men and women from West and Central Africa brought inspiration from home and familiar cooking techniques to create legacy dishes that are still celebrated today.
The contribution of Indian and Chinese indentured workers is also examined, and woven into the recipes so the reader is invested in dishes they cook. Motherland does not shy away from the brutality of the colonial periods, using eyewitness accounts to describe the barbarity of the colonial powers.
The story gives context to the food taking the reader on a journey to this Caribbean jewel through more than 500 years. The book includes classic Jamaican recipes, such as Jerk Pork, Braised Oxtail, Ackee & Saltfish and Peanut Punch, as well as unique dishes created with Jamaica's abundant natural larder and twists on classics - including Guinness Punch Pie and Coconut & Lime Shellfish.
