Years ago, Bon Appétit columnists Jinx and Jefferson Morgan left their native California to take over a small inn in the British Virgin Islands. Today The Sugar Mill is one of the most highly recommended hostelries in the Caribbean, hailed “The island’s top boutique hotel and its finest restaurant,“ by Caribbean Travel & Life magazine. Its restaurant was also named “The island’s best” by the Washington Post.
In The Sugar Mill Caribbean Cookbook, the Morgans show that you don’t need to live in the Caribbean to cook in the island style. In more than 250 recipes that use ingredients easy to find in American groceries, they demystify island cooking. They make Caribbean cuisine accessible to home cooks without sacrificing its authenticity or its subtle nuances.
Caribbean food features intense flavors, lively spices, and delectable juxtapositions of coolness and heat, sweetness and tang. From their California roots, the Morgans bring an emphasis on fresh seasonal produce and a lighter, more elegant style. With menus for sophisticated entertaining, and with a wealth of ideas for simple and terrific everyday meals, their book is the ideal companion for travelers who have visited the islands and want to recreate its cooking at home and for fans of global cooking who want to master a new and fascinating cuisine with ease.
