 go buy it May 20, 2002
By Marjorie Fortin
As a hatian american i've been looking for years for a haitian cookbook, but just like the author stated in her book you just couldn't find any. This book is very easy to read and understand. This book has your everyday dishes and recipes for special occasians, there is something in it for everyone. You can find the ingredients at your supermarket. And what i love is that she puts the english, french, and creole when she titles the recipe. That way everybody knows what she is talking about. It's true good thing comes to those who wait. I can't brag enough about this book. Just like i said go buy it.

Not the First Haitian Cookbook - But An Excellent Resource Sep 13, 2005
By Anna Julia
"Herstorian"
Although this is not the first Haitian cookbook on the North American market, it is an excellent resource! "A Taste of Haiti" is filled with authentic recipes and family remembrances of Haitian foodways. It is a great introduction to Haitian cooking. Also recommended, "The Art & Soul of Haitian Cooking". An award winning cookbook published in 2001 by The Haitian Institute in Washington, DC.

 Thank You Mirta Oct 03, 2006

This is a wonderful resource for those who are unfamiliar with Haitian cuisine and those of us who did not watch our Haitian mothers in the kitchen. Each dish's name is accompanied by its Creole, French and English name. I found this to be extremely helpful. I love the introductory paragraphs at the beginning of some recipes, explaining the history and/or meaning of the dishes. This definitely puts what you are cooking into perspective and makes the dishes more personal. My only criticism is the lack of photos. A photo of a dish or two would have been an excellent visual, and I say this on behalf of those who are not familiar with Haitian cuisine.
Definitely a fixture in the kitchen.

This is a Gem Oct 09, 2003
By Patrick Andre
My Wife recently bought this fabulous book for me at our local bookstore and I have say, WOW. The recipes could not be more accurate. There has been no manipulation of recipes to accomodate the unadventerous. It's nice to see something like this book finally happen in the 21st century.
