"a magnificent job in making known the secrets of the Haitian kitchen . . . a testimony of love, family harmony, and strong determination!"- Yvon Nicolas, Haïti Progrès

Now available in paperback for the first time, this popular Hippocrene cookbook brings the flavors of Haiti to readers.

This cookbook offers over 100 traditional Haitian recipes, including holiday foods and the author's favorite drinks and desserts.

Interspersed throughout is information on Haiti's history, holidays and celebrations, food staples and cooking methods to guide the home chef on a culinary adventure to this beautiful island. Recipe titles are provided in English, Haitian Creole and French.
