About this deal

Through her travels in Antigua, Andi shares her deeply personal journey on reconnecting with the food she grew up eating - the flavours and ingredients that run through her heart and soul - and what the future might hold for Caribbean cookery. Serve immediately, garnished with the coriander, alongside the rice or bread of your choice. Green seasoning For a while she went by her middle name, Denise, because it felt more like a white girl’s. “I felt like I was waiting for my life to start,” she says. “I knew it was going to happen, and I knew I just had to wait it out.”

The great thing about becoming famous in your 50s, she says, is that it doesn’t drive you mad: you can enjoy the work, but you see it for what it is: “If this had happened to me when I was younger, I’d be dead by now.” Oliver may be the biggest thing on food TV these days, presenting Great British Menu for a third series – she’s fast-talking, deeply knowledgeable, engaged, at ease and earthy, with a refreshing inquisitiveness. She asks so many questions, puzzling over ways to stop the mayonnaise separating in a cheese toastie, on the Channel 4 show Food Unwrapped. To make the topping, melt the butter and oil together in a wide frying pan. Add the garlic and very gently soften over a low heat for around 4 minutes. Add the breadcrumbs and stir them through the oil. Toast for few minutes, then remove from the heat. Life began in London, joining a band with her brother Sean and Cherry. “Punk gave us an engine,” she says, “and it taught us to be self-fulfilling. Punk taught you to not wait. It gave me the most beautiful gift at the right time: I’ve found quantifiable, external success later in life, but I’ve always done exactly what I wanted to do.” Andi Oliver’s deeply personal exploration of Caribbean food showcasing both traditional and new recipes, cherished ingredients, and vibrant flavors from across the regionSplash a little oil into the palm of your hands and rub it all over the dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel and leave the dough to rest at room temperature for 2-3 hours – 3 hours is preferable if you have time. I so love the unique sour nature of tamarind. It’s almost like a connector between sweet, salty, and savoury – somehow it seems to sing to all of those sensations. A spoonful of tamarind chutney will bring any dish to life.

The story of food captured in this book will take readers on a journey around the melting pot of cultural influences, history and heritage that has uniquely shaped traditional and contemporary Caribbean cuisine. Through her travels in Antigua, Andi shares her deeply personal journey on reconnecting with the food she grew up eating - the flavours and ingredients that run through her heart and soul - and what the future might hold for Caribbean cookery. This book explores who we were, who we are, and where we're going - all through the food we eat and the people we meet along the way. For the sweet pastry, place the butter, flour, sugar, ground almonds and salt in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture looks a bit like breadcrumbs. Tip in the eggs, one by one, pulsing with each addition until the dough has just formed.

Press into the bottom and sides of the tart tin and chill in the fridge for 1 hour or until set.

I love a second-day pot of curry, and this recipe is no exception – if you make a big enough pot it will see you through a couple of dinners in the middle of the week. This is also one of those many moments when you’ll be glad you took my advice to keep a big jar of green seasoning in the fridge. Preheat the oven to 180C fan/gas mark 6. Cook the macaroni in a deep pan of vigorously boiling salted water until tender but still with a little bite left to it; it’ll take around 10 minutes. Drain immediately and leave to one side. While this is happening, grate all the cheeses, mix them together and set aside.Once the liquid is cool, add the spring onions, coriander stalks, and most of the diced cucumber, reserving about 2 tablespoon.
