Island Vegan: 75 Fresh & Bold Recipes from the Caribbean: Jamaica, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic & More (Lloyd Rose)

Lloyd’s trips to Jamaica aren’t just to see family; he has a deep connection to the food of his heritage. In this book he makes the best dishes from Caribbean cuisine accessible to everyone looking to incorporate more plants into their diet by adding his own vegan twist. Because Lloyd’s family is from Jamaica, Jamaican dishes and jerk-style cooking methods are prominent, but he also shares veganized versions of popular foods from the broader Caribbean culture such as Cuba and Puerto Rico. Even better, Lloyd’s cooking is all about simplicity, with a focus on minimally processed whole-food ingredients and no faux meats, for meals that are packed with authentic flavor and easy to prepare, even for new and amateur cooks.Lloyd uses staples like coconut milk, allspice, nutmeg and curry powder to recreate the traditional dishes those from the Caribbean love. Think warm and fragrant mains like Mango Habanero Mushrooms, Trini Doubles, Crispy Phish Tacos with Crema and Curry Jackfruit Chick’N. O
