America's First Gluten-Free Caribbean-Influenced Cookbook That is Also QR Code-Enhanced

HOLLYWOOD, FL, July 06, 2011 (Press-News.org) In the Land of Misfits, Pirates and Cooks - now gluten-free - boasts over 125 mouth-watering recipes. This four color book serves up an easy to read 180 pages of delectable recipes and narrative about what it is like to live in the Caribbean.

This cookbook is the result of chef Michael Bennett's equating and collaborating hundreds of years of compelling Caribbean food and cookery elements. This book is overflowing with a scrumptious mix of seasoning blends and marinades, salads, appetizers and entrees written in a way where you are the aspirant chef and, YOU can compose or alter recipes while atop the stove.

The modern metropolitan recipe styling captures the distinct local flavor of a multinational cookery heritage. Vibrant photography, easy to use design, one-of-a-kind recipe flow and, interesting and helpful sidebars and QR (Quick Response) codes blend to create the perfect sampling of what this multicultural, Caribbean-based cookery style has to offer.

This gluten-free cookbook was developed as a way of thanking the many fans of Caribbean cuisine that know "curry powder" or a "jerk glaze" are not the only examples of a Caribbean chef's repertoire.

Chef Michael asserts that after working as a chef for the past four years in applaudable Caribbean dining venues, each has played an important role in the successful dispatch of this book. Michael's travel throughout the Caribbean, whether on a British, American, French or Spanish island nations, has helped Michael to shape this unprecedented recipe collection.
