“Seriously mouthwatering food from the islands!”Post Punk Kitchen

“Mason’s herbaceous sauces, savory dry rubs, and piquant spices have elevated our everyday ingredients into unforgettable, island-inspired dishes.”Veg News

“Get a chance to explore these island flavors for the price of a book instead of a plane ticket—and bring the carnival to the kitchen and the sunshine to your taste buds. A compendium of Caribbean dishes reflecting a diverse range of ethnic influences, ideas, and inspirations, this book appeals to current food trends and lifestyle choices, and is for those embracing a plant based and cruelty-free diet.
