Island Delectable Delights

Roots, Fruits, Veggies and Soups compiles recipes from “A” to “Z”. The collection includes delectable dishes which reflect the pride and heritage of Jamaican and other Caribbean cuisines. The “roots” (cassava, yam, dasheen, potato, ginger and coco) are a treat. Prepared in a variety of ways, these staples may be used at any meal. Whether a traditional or a newly developed recipe, each dish is bound to delight the taste buds. Many of the newly developed recipes may change the way you think about our “roots,” which may be a rhizome, a tuber, a stem or a bulb. From side dishes to drinks, the versatility of our “roots” will astound you. The recipes may be used for formal occasions or casual dining, for side dishes or drinks, by the professional, the everyday cook or the adventurous at heart. The nostalgia is overpowering, the foods bridging the gap that separates us from our island homes. Jamaica is coveted for its wide variety of tropical fruits. To name a few, the ackee, breadfruit, guava, mango, guinnep, custard apple, star apple, banana, plum, avocado, and papaya are among the fruits from which to choose. Their rich colors, textures, aromas, and tastes tantalize the senses of the epicurean. Eaten fresh or cooked, as a single food, a combination food or a blend, fruits are a rich addition to any meal. Try the ackee and saltfish (salted cod), the Jamaican national dish. Prove for yourself the delectable experience of a fruit and fish combination!

The Jersey Shore, our most treasured asset, the envy of forty-nine other states, comes alive in this new book by the reporter and writer who knows New Jersey—and the Jersey Shore—best. Every conceivable topic—where to eat, where to stay, landmarks and attractions, what to do with the kids—is covered with the kind of inside information you just won’t find on tourism web sites or Facebook. All one hundred-plus Shore towns are included, from Sandy Hook to Cape May. There are hundreds of restaurant listings and recommendations. The book also contains engaging profiles and vignettes of the people and places that give the Shore its special character and charm. A throwback five-and-dime store on Long Beach Island. Banner pilots. Birders. Baby parades. And more. You want lists and rankings? The book is full of them—twenty best Shore towns, twenty-one secret spots down the Shore, twenty essential Jersey Shore experiences, fifty things we bet you didn’t know about the Shore, and so on. The book is the next best thing to being at the Shore; actually, it may be better than being there (think of those epic traffic jams on the Parkway, and all the money you’ll save on tolls, beach fees, and bad boardwalk pizza).
