Islas A Celebration Of Tropical Cooking 125 Recipes From The Indian Atlantic And Pacific Ocean Von Diaz by Von Diaz instant download after payment.

The islands spanning Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific oceans are remarkable places, sharing dozens of ingredients and cooking techniques, including marinating, fermenting, deep-frying, smoking, and in-ground roasting. Bold flavors drip from the edges of each dish-tastes that represent stories of resistance, persistence, and wisdom passed down from generation to generation. This narrative cookbook by writer, documentary producer, and author Von Diaz, travels across oceans and nations to uplift the shared ancestral cooking techniques of these islands in more than 125 recipes, including intimate profiles of the historical context of each technique, stories from islanders, and step-by-step guides for recreating them at home.

Bright citrus and vinegars, verdant herbs, slow-cooked and smoky grilled meats, fresh seafood, aromatic rice, and earthy root vegetables: These flavours, found in the meals and recipes across the island nations of the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans, despite distance and cultural differences, pair remarkably well together. Partnered with deep-rooted cooking techniques-marinating, pickling + fermentation, braising + stewing, frying, grilling + smoking, and steaming + in-ground cooking-these ingredients and techniques typify the harmonious, synchronous spirit found in each of their unique cuisines. Even amid environmental chaos and food insecurity, islanders cook in ways that are soul-nourishing and flavourful.
