Motherland is a celebration of Jamaican food from its roots to the dishes that have made it the unique cuisine it is today. The cookbook - that features in-depth research into the evolution of the island's food - charts the contribution of indiginous Jamaicans, the Taino, and follows the impact of colonisation, and how those periods under Spanish and British rule left an indelible mark on the nation's gastronomy, including the introduction of pigs, ackee, saltfish, coffee, sugarcane and Easter bun, while enslaved men and women from West and Central Africa brought inspiration from home and familiar cooking techniques to create legacy dishes that are still celebrated today. The contribution of Indian and Chinese indentured workers is also examined, and woven into the recipes so the reader is invested in dishes they cook. Motherland does not shy away from the brutality of the colonial periods, using eyewitness accounts to describe the barbarity of the colonial powers. The story gives context to the food taking the reader on a journey to this Caribbean jewel through more than 500 years. The book includes classic Jamaican recipes, such as Jerk Pork, Braised Oxtail, Ackee & Saltfish and Peanut Punch, as well as unique dishes created with Jamaica's abundant natural larder and twists on classics - including Guinness Punch Pie and Coconut & Lime Shellfish.
