Cookbook

I wanted to get Sally something for Christmas that she wasn't expecting, so when I ran across this it was perfect.

It is chock full of traditional caribbean dishes, it has the kind of nutritional information that you'd expect of a book written by a committee of Home Economists, it doesn't require any unnatural ingredients (the caribbean vegetables are generally available in caribbean food stores up north, and some supermarkets), it has lots of good pictures, definitions of spices, and that sort of thing, and it is published by Macmillan (www.macmillan-caribbean.com) so you can probably get it from Amazon if you don't get one down here, and it makes a nice souvenir.
