Product Description

While sailing close to the Caribbean, Ann Vanderhoof  and her husband Steve track wild oregano-consuming goats in the cactus-covered hills of the Dominican Republic, gather nutmegs on an old estate in Grenada, make searing-scorching pepper sauce in a Trinidadian kitchen, cram for a chocolate-tasting check at the University of the West Indies, and sip moonshine straight out of hidden back-country stills.Along the way, they are befriended by a assortment of unforgettable island characters: Dwight, the skin-diving fisherman who usually brings them something from his catch and critiques her efforts to cook it Greta, who harvests seamoss on St. Lucia and turns it into potent Island-Viagra sweet-hand Pat, who dispenses hugs and impromptu dance lessons along with cooking ideas in her Port of Spain kitchen. Back in her galley, Ann practices generating curry like a Trini, dog sauce like a Martiniquais, and coo-coo like a Carriacouan. And for those who want to consider these adventures into their very own kitchens, she pulls 71 tasty recipes from the stories she tells, which she places at the finish of the related chapters. The Spice Necklace is a wonderful escape into a life filled with sunshine (and hurricanes), delicious food, irreplaceable firm, and island traditions.
