The recipes in MY JAMAICAN TABLE celebrate the bold flavors of iconic Jamaican dishes like Jerk Chicken, Pepper Shrimp, and Ackee and Saltfish alongside new spins like Oxtail and Gnocchi, a fish-and-chips-inspired Escovitch Fish Sandwich, and Rum Cake Tiramisu. With easy-to-follow instructions, accessible ingredients, full-color images, and stories, MY JAMAICAN TABLE brings a taste of Jamaican to home kitchens.
