The Caribbean

The Food Around the World series looks at the social, religious and celebratory aspects of food in different countries across the world.

It considers farming and climate, where different foods are bought and how they are cooked and eaten in each country.

Each book also includes a map, a simple step-by-step recipe, and a food pyramid which encourages children to think about what contributes to a balanced diet.

The Caribbean gives a feel of island life and how food is an important part of it.

It explores different influences on food around the islands before focusing on food at the carnival and the major religious festivals.
