Tropic Cooking: The New Cuisine from Florida and the Islands of the Caribbean
by Joyce LaFray
Category: Cooking

Represents an intermingling of African, Spanish, French, British, Indian, Dutch, and North American customs and techniques. The common ground is the raw materials -- fresh fruit, herbs, and vegetables; fresh seafood; and the spices and seasonings. Recipes were collected from native islanders, Florida "crackers," old and new restauranteurs, and supplied by the author.
