Cassava & Cardamom by Kareem Roberts

Details

Kareem Roberts’ Cassava & Cardamom is the definitive modern Caribbean cookbook. Roberts shares his journey from humble beginnings in Antigua, learning to soak saltfish and cook rice over beach fires, to becoming a head chef in Cambridge.

His story is one of resilience, marked by early failure, personal loss, and hard-earned culinary growth. Alongside vivid storytelling, the book offers refined, innovative recipes that celebrate Caribbean ingredients with global technique and flair - salt cod, cassava, plantain, and scotch bonnet transformed into artful, soulful dishes.

The chapters flow thematically, Roots, Ground, Sea and Pasture, each blending memory with method. Through richly personal anecdotes and meticulously crafted recipes, Roberts honours the traditions he grew up with while pushing Caribbean cuisine into bold new territory.

More than a cookbook, Cassava & Cardamom is a love letter to heritage, flavor, and the transformative power of food.
