Notes
The foods of the Pacific Islands, rich in produce from the sea, coconuts grown on coral beaches, fruits and vegetables from village gardens and plantations, are found in most tropical countries. And now, modern transport brings many of these exotic and nutritious foods to markets all over the world, where they blend with, and add excitement to, local and traditional dishes. Derived from the very successful Taste of the Tropics, first published in the 1970s, this revised and updated cookbook uses the latest nutritional information and culinary techniques to show how to prepare over 200 recipes using the fruits, vegetables, grains, fish, poultry and meat of the Pacific area. Alternative temperate climate ingredients are suggested if it is likely that Pacific ones may not be available. At the back of the book is an illustrated guide to tropical fruit and vegetables with advice on selection, use and storage.
