Recipes and food stories from the East of the Caribbean by award-winning author Riaz Philipps

** A Guardian Top 5 Best Food Book 2023 **

Explore flavours from the eastern reaches of the Caribbean.

A Guardian Top 5 Best Food Book 2023 who stated \"the chapter on roti is a masterpiece.\"

The shared foods of Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and Suriname are rooted in similarity and yet fascinatingly different. Jam-packed with recipes, there's inspiration for everyone and every occasion, whether that be a cosy curry and roti on Friday nights or a feast for family and friends.

Interwoven throughout, Riaz's food and travel writing illuminates the diverse history of the Indian, Chinese, and African heritage that culminates in the food culture of these lands today. Ranging from plant-based to meat and seafood, Riaz offers up not only delicious dishes but also the inseparable stories of people and places. More than a cookbook, with East Winds you'll go on a culinary journey to explore the roots and evolution of the dishes you're cooking.

Praise for East Winds

East Winds is a joyous celebration of Trinidadian, Guyanese, Surinamese and Grenadian cultures, traditions and, of course, cuisine.

Riann Phillip, Vogue.co.uk

You've read Riaz Phillips' brilliant Caribbean tome West Winds, now it's time to delve a little deeper with this second book bursting with recipes based on memories and tales from the lesser-hailed eastern clutch of islands

Joanna Taylor, ES Magazine

Riaz Phillips is one of the best writers on Caribbean food, and his new book East Winds, is an eye-opening mouth-watering look at the food of what he calls the hidden Caribbean. It'll take you on a culinary journey.

Ed Cumming, The Telegraph Magazine

'An immensely powerful read and a pleasure to cook from'

Susan Low, Waitrose Magazine

'Stunning'

VOGUE

East Winds is Riaz Phillips’s third book and reveals what an outstanding and poetic writer he’s become. He takes us on a culinary and cultural journey through Guyana, Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago and elsewhere. The term "hidden Caribbean" refers not only to the fact the south-eastern islands are overshadowed by Jamaica and the broader Caribbean, but to the myriad identities – Amerindian, west African, Portuguese, Chinese and Indian – that swirl within them and manifest so clearly in their food. The chapter titles – Plant-based, Seeds & Pulses; Nose-to-Tail – feel contemporary, but these are old ways and the chapter on roti is a masterpiece.

Rachel Roddy, Five of the best food books 2023, The Guardian

West Winds: Recipes, History and Tales from Jamaica was one of my favourite books from last year. And East Winds, Phillips’s follow-up, is every bit as good. In it, he charts the foods of the Eastern Caribbean, and immigrant influences from North India, South China, West Africa and Europe. Beautifully written, it’s deeply personal, endlessly enlightening and makes me want to cook things I’ve never tried before.
