There’s a Jamaican phrase, "Out of many, one people," that is reflected in the style of cooking from the Carib-bean: distinct, bold flavors coming together to create an electric experience. Such is the case with The Real Jerk . This is new Caribbean cuisine, cooking borne out of tradition, steeped in history, and brought into a new world where styles and tastes fuse to become something entirely different. The Real Jerk: New Caribbean Cuisine includes such favorite recipes as jerk chicken, curry goat, oxtail, shrimp creole, and ackee and codfish (Jamaica’s national dish). There are also vegetarian dishes, a chapter with kids’ favorites, desserts, soups and salads, and all things Caribbean. Alongside the recipes and menu suggestions are stories about the tales behind the traditions, the history of the hearth, and anecdotes about Caribbean living, whether in the islands, or on the mainland, all surrounded by black-and-white photographs and illustrations, and full-color images of the best Caribbean cooking to be had this side of the islands. Let The Real Jerk transport you to new Caribbean cuisine: a blend of tastes and cultures unlike any you’ve visited before. Lily and Ed Pottinger are the proprietors of The Real Jerk, Toronto’s premier Caribbean restaurant. They first opened the restaurant in 1984 and have since consistently topped "favorite" and "best of" lists. Review: The Real Jerk - I love Jamaican food especially jerk chicken and pork. This book is well written with a vast amount of recipes that will be enjoyed by anyone that feels the same as I do about caribbean cuisine. I do highly recommend this book to anyone and I don't feel that they will be disappointed.

I received one as a gift and sent one as a gift.
I learned to make jerk chicken for a potluck at the Kensington Women's Club in London. This is a good primer.

Delicious, mon!!
The Real Jerk is my fave restaurant in Toronto. We live in Hawaii and whenever we hunger for authentic Jamaican food, we rely on this book to put together whole meals. We love that it offers advice on which recipes mix & match to make the ultimate meal, plus everything is super easy to cook. The ingredients are easy to shop for and don't have you hunting down obscure ingredients. You can pick up everything at the local supermarket. We've been to Jamaica and these recipes are as authentic as it gets. Definitely buy this book!

The Real Jerk cookbook
The recipes are quite authenthic. The only thing that would enhance the book would be more photos showing exactly what the cuisine should look like when prepared.

Attendre 3 semaines pour recevoir un livre auquel il manque au moins 40 pages! DÉCEPTION TOTALE!!!
Je suis extrêmement déçu. Il manque au moins 40 pages au livre. Le vendeur prétendait que le livre était lisible. Quelqu'un a arraché les recettes les plus intéressantes. C'est un ancien livre de bibliothèque qui doit avoir été dans les mains de dizaines de personnes. REAL JERK, c'est exactement ça! Mûr pour la poubelle!!!

Authentic Jamaican Cooking Recipe
There are several cook books with good Jamaican recipe.The Real Jerk is one of the best, it is a most useful introduction to Jamaican cuisines and how best to cook and serve as well as providing information to those born of Jamaican parentage outside Jamaica.
