This is an excellent cookbook! It is a collaboration by celebrities with a Caribbean connection who came together to support the cause of the Grenada Relief Fund after Hurricane Ivan devastated the island in 2004. Originally, $5.00 from the $35.00 cover price were donated to the fund along with all of the author's proceeds. However, I have not been able to find any current information on the Grenada Relief Fund, and since most repairs from Hurricane Ivan have already been completed, it is likely now a defunct campaign and hence the reason why online booksellers are able to sell the book for as low as $23. Regardless, it is an excellent cookbook. The recipes I will touch on in a second, but the personal stories of why such celebrities as Kenny Chesney, Michael Douglas, Tom Hanks, Orlando Bloom, and Terrance Howard are tied to the Caribbean is a source of excitement for a Caribbeanophile like myself. It has a varied collection of Caribbean staples such as Miss Pam's Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Lobster Curry a la Chez Bamboo on Virgin Gorda to pleasure palates like Coconut French Toast and Pineapple Tarte Tartin from The Restaurant at the Cove in Eluethera. Not to be overlooked are the Chocolate Port Wine Sorbet from the Ocean & Vine on St. Barths (sidenote - many of my yachting clients add St. Barths to their itinerary simply to dine... oh la la) and the Classic Conch Civeche from the Caymans... enjoy!
