Plentiful: Vegan Jamaican Recipes to Repeat

Product Information

Whilst her recipes honour her early upbringing in Jamaica, Denai is inspired by her expansive travels around the world, and the vibrant, diverse London food scene. I’ve already bought two copies as presents for friends, and I know I shall be giving a lot more out as the year progresses. But there’s no need to unpick the various influences behind each recipe: what you need to know is that her food is just gorgeous! But I shouldn’t let you go before I’ve told you about some of the desserts, too, so let me just say to you Small-Batch Sticky Toffee Pudding, Jamaican Ginger and Marzipan Loaf and Coffee Miso Caramel Chocolate Pudding! To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

I've already bought two copies as presents for friends, and I know I shall be giving a lot more out as the year progresses.
