About this title

Synopsis

"A Taste of Mustique" is a book about the food and people of the island of Mustique. Kevin Snook's recipes, with their mouthwatering contemporary take on traditional Caribbean ingredients, are presented together with stories written by those who live on this 'paradise' and profiles of Mustique landmarks. Sophie Munro's stunning photographs illustrate not only the recipes but also many facets of life on the island - both that of the inhabitants and of the wonderful world of nature that flourishes there.Kevin Snook was employed as a chef for many years by prominent Mustiquans and is passionate about the quality of life that the island has to offer - from the fresh abundance of its food to the beauty of its beaches and the vibrancy of its parties. A mix that is triumphantly captured here to give the reader the true flavour of Mustique. A portion of the proceeds of the sale of this book will go to support the Environmental Committee of Mustique Island.
