Memories and recipes, where food reminds us of stories and stories remind us of food and friendships and, ultimately, love.
"From my childhood in the melting pot of cultures that is the Caribbean, with the rainforest in my backyard, to my later years with friends of many nationalities in today's diverse Britain, these stories and recipes are my photo album in words."
Juliette Valentine
A book cover design for my lovely Mum!
This book is dedicated to all her grandchildren, and our family copy is already very well-thumbed. It’s a beautiful collection of stories from my Mum’s early years in the Caribbean and her later life in the UK.
Throughout the pages, stories and recipes intertwine, featuring delicious foods we grew up eating and shared recipes from the many friends she made along her journey. It’s a truly special book from a very special person—I’m so proud of her!
