About the book
A joyous celebration of Caribbean food from Jamaica. Winner the Jane Grigson Trust Award 2022. In West Winds, award-winning food writer Riaz Phillips tells countless tales of Jamaica through its dishes, drawing on his memories of growing up in the Caribbean diaspora of London and time living in Jamaica. With a mix of location and recipe photography by Phillips, West Winds fully immerses readers in the spirit and food of Jamaica. From the \"waste not, want not\" approach instilled in Riaz by his grandmother, to the Ital food he was introduced to living with the Rastafari community, working at eco-farms as well as reconnecting to his grandfather's birthplace of downtown Kingston, the 100 plus mouthwatering meals, hearty soups, bakes, and refreshing drinks cover all the different elements of Jamaican cooking. Recipes rooted in centuries of culture through folktales and anecdotes make West Winds so much more than a cookbook - it is an ode to Jamaica and the diasporas, the people and their heritage, with something for everyone.
