Summary
A vibrantly designed Caribbean vegan cookbook from the internationally celebrated duo behind Original Flava。
Caribbean food is often known for its tasty meat and fish dishes。 However， there's more to Caribbean food than jerk chicken。 It also features a wide variety of fresh fruit and vegetables like plantain， yams， jackfruit， guava， and plenty more， making it perfect for vegan recipes。
Jamaica has a long and authentic vegan tradition: the Ital diet of Jamaican Rastafarians。 Ital means clean， natural， and unprocessed as much as possible。 Rastafari is an expression of unity with all things， and the Ital diet reflects that through a sense of peace and togetherness with the natural world。 Essentially Jamaican cooking without salt， meat， or additives， Ital is just as tasty but with the power to promote overall health and wellness。
Craig and Shaun charmed cooks everywhere with their essential introduction to home-cooked Caribbean food in Original Flava。 Now， in Natural Flava， they're spreading the love， offering Ital inspiration and punchy Caribbean flavors to the feel-good， plant-based diet taking the world by storm。

The neighborhood I grew up in I was surrounded by a melting pot of flavors。 One was Caribbean。 Such beautiful flavors， spicy but not necessarily hot （though it can be）。 This book brings all the flavors I remember only vegan。 I’m so excited to try some of these。 Now all the ingredients aren’t all super convenient but you will be able to find them。

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。This is an interesting cook book！ I don't know a lot about Caribbean food， let alone vegan Caribbean recipes so I was excited to learn more。There's a good variety of recipes in this book！ From savory entrees and snacks to desserts there are a lot of options。 I normally like recipe books that include pictures for every recipe and while this book doesn't have pictures for them all， the pictures that are included look I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。This is an interesting cook book！ I don't know a lot about Caribbean food， let alone vegan Caribbean recipes so I was excited to learn more。There's a good variety of recipes in this book！ From savory entrees and snacks to desserts there are a lot of options。 I normally like recipe books that include pictures for every recipe and while this book doesn't have pictures for them all， the pictures that are included look delicious。 There's lots of interesting recipes for plantains， a squash wellington that I've never seen before， some porridge bowls， and more！ The recipes are in metric and may need some converting for Americans。 Overall a nice find！ 。。。more

Publication date: March 1， 2022Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review an advanced reader's copy of this book。 This in no way affects my review， all opinions are my own。Having read the brother's first book， this was a logical sequel and given the price of meat， a welcome break from those high grocery bills。 Do you have a kid away at school or one who orders take-out all the time？ Are you guilty of this habit？ Remember that， seriously， that one of the best Publication date: March 1， 2022Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review an advanced reader's copy of this book。 This in no way affects my review， all opinions are my own。Having read the brother's first book， this was a logical sequel and given the price of meat， a welcome break from those high grocery bills。 Do you have a kid away at school or one who orders take-out all the time？ Are you guilty of this habit？ Remember that， seriously， that one of the best gifts that you can give your children is TEACHING THEM HOW TO COOK！！！ They will save thousands of dollars on take-out and delivery while at college and after 。。。 there are a lot of kids who go through their food budget at college in two months - I used to hear this all the time when I worked in OSAP/Financial Aid （and if you add up all the money spent on delivery over the years one could easily afford a down payment on a house！）The recipes are well written and understandable by cooks of all levels and the photos make the food very appealing to myself and other lovers of food out there。I especially love the book because it uses mostly whole ingredients instead of pre-prepared and packaged foods。 My husband says that I never have any food in the house， only ingredients --- that is why I cook so much。 I also refuse to eat or cook with Frankenfoods such as "chick'n" and its 88 ingredients vs。 🐔chicken🐔 having one and cheese that does not come from an animal is udder nonsense！） 。。。more

This was really interesting and lead me to a different type of cuisine than I normally cook。 The recipes were easy to follow and the pictures helpful。 I was given an advance copy by the publishers and netgalley but the review is entirely my own。

The recipes contained within Natural Flava by Craig and Shaun McAnuff are mouthwateringly delicious and in keeping with the Jamaican tradition of plant based - ital cooking which we popularly call vegan cooking in the West。There are recipes that are a spin on popular dishes which will have the keen meat eater licking their lips。Definitely recommend for anyone looking to diversify their dinner plates。***Thank you Netgalley and Bloomsbury Publishing for this ARC in exchange for an honest review。** The recipes contained within Natural Flava by Craig and Shaun McAnuff are mouthwateringly delicious and in keeping with the Jamaican tradition of plant based - ital cooking which we popularly call vegan cooking in the West。There are recipes that are a spin on popular dishes which will have the keen meat eater licking their lips。Definitely recommend for anyone looking to diversify their dinner plates。***Thank you Netgalley and Bloomsbury Publishing for this ARC in exchange for an honest review。*** 。。。more
