Pepperpot Diaries

The ingredients we use in Caribbean cookery tell a story - and it's a huge
swirling tale...

The Pepperpot Diaries is Andi Oliver's long-awaited first cookbook. Showcasing
both traditional and new recipes, cherished ingredients and vibrant flavours from
across the Caribbean. Let Andi Oliver take you on an exploration of identity and
heritage as she shows you how to create simple yet sensational dishes that will
bring the unbeatable flavours of Caribbean cooking to your table.

The story of food captured in this book will take readers on a journey around the
melting pot of cultural influences, history and legacy that has uniquely shaped
handed-down and contemporary Caribbean cuisine. Through her travels in Antigua,
Andi shares her deeply personal journey on reconnecting with the food she grew
up eating - the flavours and ingredients that run through her heart and soul - and
what the future might hold for Caribbean cookery. This book explores who we
were, who we are, and where we're going - all through the food we eat and the
people we meet along the way.

Reviews

Broadcaster and chef Andi Oliver describes Caribbean food as ‘constantly evolving and bursting with flavour’. This warm, chatty book mixes tales from her own life with recipes from all over the Caribbean; highlights are chocolate curry goat, green banana and coconut dumplings, and a spicy rice pudding. A delightful guide to this vibrant cuisine.
