Keshia Sakarah - Caribe

In Caribe, Keshia Sakarah takes readers on an expansive journey through the social and culinary history of the Caribbean.

Caribe is the first cookbook to comprehensively explore Caribbean food culture, covering 23 nations including Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, St Lucia, Montserrat, Guadeloupe and many more.

Each recipe in Caribe is enriched with historical context, offering a broader awareness of Caribbean food culture – from the preserved knowledge of pre-Colonial indigenous communities to the ingredients and foodways retained from West Africa by the enslaved, to the influence of migrant communities including Chinese, East Indian and Portuguese.

Through years of meticulous research and extensive travel throughout the region, Keshia delves into each nation’s complex stories through its beloved dishes.

From Haitian Independence Soup Joumou to Dominican Saltfish Accra Fritters, Guyanese Pepperpot and Montserratian Fish Broth, Caribe highlights the profound connection between food and Caribbean history, addressing difficult truths while joyfully celebrating the region’s most treasured recipes.

Embellished with stunning location photography, detailed essays and Keshia’s personal reflections on how food has helped her to stay connected to her culture, Caribe is the ultimate tome of Caribbean cooking.\Website
