Terri, I have a Jamaican cookbook that I like very much--JERK: BARBECUE
FROM JAMAICA by Helen Willinsky. If you'll post what foods you're
interested in, I'll post some recipes, if they're in the cookbook, which is
quite wide-ranging. In the meantime, here's one for a delicious coleslaw to
go with the barbecue:
Combine the cabbage, carrots, and nuts in a large bowl; set aside. Mix
together the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, and seasoning. Spoon over cabbage
mixture. Toss well. Cover and chill before serving.
Dry Jerk Seasoning: Mix together all the ingredients. Store leftover mix in
a closed glass jar. It will keep its pungency for over a month, and can be
used on cooked or uncooked fish, vegetables, or snacks.
