Favorite Key West/Caribbean Cookbooks

I%26#39;m an inveterate collector of cookbooks. Like my beloved late mother, I read them like novels. I have one Key West cookbook from a previous trip, but I%26#39;m sure I will want to pick up others on my upcoming trip.

What are your favorite Key West/Caribbean cookbooks?

Favorite Key West/Caribbean Cookbooks

Its not completely Caribbean but I like Norman Van Aken%26#39;s Feast of Sunlight. It came out in the late 80%26#39;s (when he was the Chef at Louie%26#39;s) and is full of some wonderful recipes I still use to this day.

unbelievable!

there%26#39;s 6 or so copies of that cookbook on ebay as we speak

thanks for the tip arnie

Make sure it is the hard back. I see paperbacks ones but I am not sure what those are (reprint or updated book). The one I have is hard back and has him on the cover at what looks like Louie%26#39;s.

Keys Cuisine by Linda Gassenheimer and

Louie%26#39;s Backyard Cookbook by Jane and Michael Stern. Both are great reading as well as providing wonderful recipes!!
