Overview
Now available in paperback for the first time, this popular Hippocrene cookbook brings the flavors of Haiti to readers.

Interspersed throughout is information on Haiti’s history, holidays and celebrations, food staples and cooking methods to guide the home chef on a culinary adventure to this beautiful island. Recipe titles are provided in English, Haitian Creole and French.
