Morgan Freeman and Friends: Caribbean Cooking for a Cause - Tapa dura

Grenada is an island in the Caribbean that was devastated by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. In 2005, actor and island lover Morgan Freeman established the Grenada Relief Fund to help rebuild and restore the community. This beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated cookbook is part of Freeman's effort to help the island, half of whose population is still homeless. In the book, Freeman and more than 15 of his celebrity friends, including Hilary Swank, Alicia Keyes, Michael Douglas and Tom Hanks, contribute their favourite Caribbean recipes and share their heart-warming stories of why the Caribbean is so special to them. With gorgeous full-colour photographs spotlighting Freeman's famous friends and their favourite islands and island dishes, this is a unique book. In addition to being a beautiful keepsake, it is also an inspiring and practical cookbook with lots of delicious recipes by chefs from the Caribbean, as well as celebrities.
