ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

What a pleasure it has been to create this book with such a lovely and professional group of people.

Thank you to the entire team at Blue Marlin for helping to make a dream come true with my Caribbean Kitchen. There are so many of you to thank. What a crew! We enjoyed a wonderful journey together.

Thank you to all at Random House for rekindling my love for cookery writing, especially as it was focused on the food and culture that is so close to my heart. A big thank you to my publisher Lizzy and my editor Lisa. And not forgetting photographer Dan, food stylist Bianca, prop stylist Tamzin and designers Alex & Emma – guys, I want to eat every page!

To my family at JHA who are always there for me – Jerry, Sarah, Julie and the inspirational Charlotte.

To my close family and friends, my loved ones, my kids and my adorable dog Bobby – thank you!
