Caribbean Light brings you vibrant, home-style island food that's not only exciting but healthful as well. Author Donna Shields is a registered dietitian and consultant to major food companies on culinary and health issues. She is also a long time Key West resident.
Caribbean food is a medley of cooking techniques combining African, Indian, European and Chinese influences, and the result is a cuisine with a big, assertive personality. Using selective but authentic ingredients and lighter cooking methods, Donna Shields harnesses that bold flavor while interpreting Caribbean cooking for the healthy American lifestyle. There are over 125 fabulous, relatively simple recipes such as Coconut Kerry Chicken, Marinated Palm Hearts, and Drunken Shrimp. Each recipe is followed with information on calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, vitamins, and minerals. Well-indexed and easy-to-use, with informative sidebars on many aspects of Caribbean cuisine.
