Description
Discover the rich history and diverse influences behind the vibrant cuisine of Jamaica. Motherland, a cookbook by Melissa Thompson, takes you on a journey through over 500 years of history to explore the origins and evolution of the island's beloved dishes.
From the classic saltfish fritters and curry goat, to Melissa's own twists on family favourites like oxtail nuggets and grapefruit cassava cake, this cookbook is a treasure trove of recipes that showcase the unique blend of cultures that have shaped Jamaican food.
With essays that chart the impact of colonialism, the influence of West and Central Africa, and the contributions of indigenous and indentured workers, Motherland offers a nuanced and engaging exploration of the history and people behind the food.
