A Taste Of Haiti

by on 4/12

I did a google search for Kremas recipe and I actually found a book with Haitian recipes.

This site also showed up on the google search.

Hence, why I am answering.

A Taste of Haiti
by Mirta Yurnet-Thomas, Thomas Family

Editorial Reviews
Yvon Nicolas, Haiti Progres
This book is not only a handy reference; it is also a testimony of love, family harmony, and strong determination.

Gary Pierre-Pierre, Haitian Times
A Taste of Haiti provides both connoisseurs and novices of Haitian cuisine a chance to expand their culinary skills.

Book Description
This is the first Haitian cookbook on the North American market!
With African, French, Arabic and Amerindian influences, the food and culture of Haiti are fascinating subjects to explore.

From the days of slavery to present times, traditional Haitian cuisine has relied upon staples like root vegetables, pork, fish, and flavor enhancers like Pikliz (picklese, or hot pepper vinegar) and Zepis (ground spices).

This cookbook offers over 100 Haitian recipes, including traditional holiday foods and the author's favorite drinks and desserts.

Information on Haiti's history, holidays and celebrations, necessary food staples, and cooking methods will guide the home chef on a culinary adventure to this beautiful island.

Recipe titles are given in English, Creole, and French.

By the way, here's the recipe for Kremas.
