KIN: An Evening Exploring & Celebrating Caribbean Food with Marie Mitchell

Join Bold Fork Books and chef Marie Mitchell for an evening of conversation celebrating the release of Marie's cookbook, KIN: Caribbean Recipes for the Modern Kitchen.

ABOUT THE COOKBOOK

An outstanding gem of a book. Vibrant, exciting, and full of modern twists." -Ixta Belfrage, author of Mezcla

"Beautiful and comforting, Kin feels like home. Every kitchen needs a copy." -Candice Carty-Williams, author of Queenie

"One of the most hotly anticipated cookbooks of the year." -Gurdeep Loyal - Olive magazine

A passionate debut cookbook celebrates Caribbean food, its legacy preserved—and, ultimately, transformed—by the kinship of those who share food. As the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, Marie Mitchell cooks to understand and celebrate recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation.

In Kin, her hotly anticipated debut cookbook, she shares dishes from the Caribbean and its diaspora. Accompanied by gorgeous photographs, many shot in the Caribbean, the book’s 80 recipes blend influences from South Asia, Africa, and Latin America in crispy Saltfish Fritters, Honey Jerk Wings with Fluffy Cassava Fries and Hot Pepper Sauce, garlicky Mojo Roast Pork, Sweet Tangy Coleslaw, and Creamy Tomato Curry. Her breads, desserts, and drinks evoke the islands and are stunningly easy: coconut bread buns, a Ginger Drizzle cake, Summer Rum Punch. Marie’s food is subtle and playful, layering different notes and spices carefully to create delicate, rewarding flavors perfect for home cooks.
