Craig and Shaun McAnuff are two brothers born and bred in Britain, but with
Jamaica in their hearts and souls. Follow them on their journey to the
birthplace of their grandparents to discover the recipes that inspired
generations - but with their own vibrant modern twist.
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. Essentially Jamaican cooking without salt, meat, or additives, Ital is just as tasty but with the power to promote overall health and wellness. In this book, Craig and Shaun McAnuff spread the love, offering Ital inspiration and punchy Caribbean flavours to the feel-good, plant-based diet taking the world by storm.
