Sian's Kitchen: Caribbean Comfort Cooking

Bring entertainment to the kitchen to please every crowd. Sian's Kitchen is a collection of comforting dishes with Caribbean flair.

BBC Radio 1Xtra broadcaster, DJ, Channel 5/BET presenter and restaurateur Sian Anderson is an exciting new voice in the culinary scene. After founding her immensely popular restaurant Octaves, Sian is now celebrating her Black British identity with Jamaican and St Lucian heritage in a modern Caribbean cookbook.

Among the 80 fresh and flavoursome recipes are interviews with Big Zuu, Julie Adenuga and Big Narstie, as Sian invites them to dinner to discuss their favourite food, plus there is a playlist for every chapter to help you set the mood.

This is an invitation to enjoy a taste of what makes Caribbean culture in the UK so special – gathering around the table to share comforting, vibrant dishes. With chapters including 20-Minute Fixes, Comfort Classics and From the Islands, you’ll find plenty of inspiration with recipes such as:

Caribbean Plantain & Black Bean Bowl Ackee Fried Rice
Jamaican Curry Snapper Fish
Oxtail Stew
Curry Chicken
Jerk Lamb with all the extras

And keep the conversation flowing with:

Jam Tarts
Sprinkle Cake
Rum Punch

Sian's Kitchen is a crowd-pleasing, love letter of a cookbook containing everything Sian holds close to her heart: cooking, culture and entertainment.
