Cristine Mackie

Those seeking a book on the foodways of the Caribbean region will find a treasure in MacKie's book. She takes a look at the history of the region and documents the foods important in that period. She includes those foods grown and used locally, those foods exported, and those foods imported. Those looking for cookbooks will want to look elsewhere. While the book contains a few recipes, this book is mainly concerned with food in the region's culture.
