connoisseurs. However, most of the recipes are still transmitted orally, and few cookbooks have been published so far.

It is designed to provide the reader with one of the best cooking experiences and a greater appreciation of Caribbean delicacies. In this book, you will find a selection of the most delicious and mouth-watering Haitian recipes, more than thirty traditional menus, a comprehensive glossary, and, in addition to its very detailed table of contents, an index which will help locate the variations of certain recipes and other perks. It is worth a try. I guarantee it!
