Local Fort Lauderdale Chef/Author Michael Bennett has penned a Caribbean-style cookbook from his years of living in the "Islands." Chef Bennett is the executive chef at Bimini Boatyard in Fort Lauderdale; his first book is titled "In the land of Pirates, Misfits and Cooks", a first-hand "taste of living" in the Caribbean.
Bennett has coined the term "Caribb-ican" a cross between Caribbean and American styles of food preparation. To excite one's palate and to experiment with new methods of cooking and innovative ingredients makes the old new again. Chef Bennett takes the reader on playful culinary journeys throughout the many islands of the Caribbean showing you that with a little ingenuity you can bedazzle your taste buds by being tropically inspired with what Mother Nature has already given us.
The recipes are easy to read, easy to follow and easy to prepare. This book was designed with simplicity in mind to appeal to the most novice of home cooks yet intrigue the experienced cook at the same time. The ingredients are readily available at your local grocery store making this exciting style of cooking accessible at a moment's notice without much plan other than having the ingredient list with you as you shop. On most pages there are sidebars that highlight cooking tips, preparation tricks and "inside information" as it pertains to healthy eating and variations on the preparation of the dish.In the Land of Pirates, Misfits and Cooks is available for purchase at foodbrats.com or at Bimini Boatyard in Fort Lauderdale.
