I highly recommend checking it out from the library again when you have more time - not all of the recipes appear to be as labour intensive as this one was.

The tofish wasn't very fishy - I was supposed to shred 2 sheets of nori for the marinade but used a couple of tablespoons of dulse flakes instead. I don't find seaweed to be overly fishy which is fine by me as I never enjoyed seafood flavours anyway. <br />Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-90853596561616915932013-09-23T20:38:43.351+10:002013-09-23T20:38:43.351+10:00Thanks Jes, the book is definitely worth checking ...Thanks Jes, the book is definitely worth checking out. I've made a few Caribbean recipes previously but I think this cookbook is unique as it was written by a vegan who grew up in the Caribbean and has so much knowledge about this type of food.

More polenta experiments may be required in the future and there will definitely be more playing around with Caribbean recipes from this book. <br />Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-41371223758000734802013-09-19T21:17:51.777+10:002013-09-19T21:17:51.777+10:00I got that cookbook out of the library recently!

Now I know this dish works well I may be scheduling it in to a weekend myself :-) I'm glad that you enjoyed it.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-63615658432054962072013-09-19T15:08:50.983+10:002013-09-19T15:08:50.983+10:00it looks impressive - I love polenta but I find ok...it looks impressive - I love polenta but I find okra challenging and did the tofish taste fishy - it looks very appealingJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-70414203437044377762013-09-19T04:05:17.402+10:002013-09-19T04:05:17.402+10:00Not only is that dish beautiful looking, the recip...Not only is that dish beautiful looking, the recipe sounds incredible!

The coarser polenta with a grainy texture holds no interest for me either, but the kind that is very fine (de la Estancia brand is my favorite) is smooth and velvety, almost like mashed potatoes. That's the kind that makes polenta a staple for me.<br /><br />After ordering the cookbook specifically for this dish and taking multiple days to put it together, I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! I'll look forward to hearing about more things that you make from this book.Cadry's Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05019006252875213755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596036395193130130.post-8001617021914438392013-09-18T18:02:34.780+10:002013-09-18T18:02:34.780+10:00I really, really like the look of that.

Looking forward to some more experiments from the book!Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17066424084187434409noreply@blogger.com
