"Gran,
you'd be so proud because your inspiration has taken me from being
King of the Hill to Cool in the Den. What she taught me I now want to
bring to this book, and she's still around watching me go. Levi Roots |
The man who famously slayed the
dragons, Levi Roots, is bursting back onto our TV screens, this time
with his very own prime time BBC TV cookery series and accompanying
book. Caribbean Food Made Easy offers us a culinary whirlwind of
vibrant colours, mouth-watering flavours and even a bit of reggae
music to help us go with the flow; as Levi travels the UK and Jamaica
to reveal just easy it is to bring a little bit of Caribbean sunshine
into your home. Oh yes he's going back to his roots..!
The book, published to coincide
with the TV series of the same name, features 100 colourful recipes,
including those featured in the TV series and reveals the full range
of this extraordinary fusion food. From traditional meals cooked in
his grandmother's
Jamaican kitchen such as sticky
jerk chicken with oranges and curried goat, to the latest in modern
Caribbean cuisine, Levi conjures up the magic of Caribbean cooking
and will leave you in no doubt as to how unique, exciting and
delicious the food can be.
Levi's absolute charm, enthusiasm
and easy going attitude shine through in this new book and with the
accompaniment of beautiful photography by Chris Terry you will be
reaching for the jerk sauce in no time. Whether you are a fan of
gourmet cuisine or Grandma's cooking, with Caribbean Food Made Easy
you'll be sure to learn something new, taste something different, and
most importantly be left feeling full and happy!
Levi Roots is a cook,
entrepreneur and musician and his rise to fame is one of the UK's
most heart-warming business success stories. His appearance on BBC
Two's Dragon's Den resulted in two of the five judges committing
£25,000 each to his Reggae Reggae Sauce brand, which is now
stocked in all major supermarkets in the UK and has now sold over 4
million units since 2007.
Levi also creates delicious West
Indian recipes in the kitchen of his new South London restaurant,
Papine Jerk Centre and as a successful reggae musician; he has
performed with James Brown, was close friends with Bob Marley, has
sung to Nelson Mandela, and was nominated for a MOBO award in 1998.
His Roots Reggae album is coming out soon.
Levi's first cookbook, the Reggae
Reggae Cookbook was published last year and he currently lives and
works in South London.
