ROADTOWN Tortola BVI, May 29th, 2012 -- On Wednesday, May 23, nearly a hundred guests sampled delicacies from nine different establishments at the launch of the British Virgin Islands newest cookbook, Taste: Recipes From Acclaimed BVI Restaurants and Chefs at Old Government House Museum.
Chefs prepared recipes from the cookbook on site. The participants included Cooper Island Beach Club, Golden Pavilion Villa, Good Moon Farm, daysail yacht Kuralu, Myett’s Garden Grille, Peter Island Resort & Spa, Sunset Watch Villa and YCCS Marina, Virgin Gorda. Sample dishes included such treats as Mahi Napoloen with Rasta Rice and Tomato Basil Vinaigrette, Potted Rabbit & Rabbit Spring Rolls, and Asian Chicken Skewers.
Taste editor Traci O’Dea adapted the BVI Culinary Team’s cookbook contribution and made Pineapple Upside Down Cupcakes for dessert. Caribbean Cellars provided wine pairings for all the dishes.
Editor Traci O’Dea said, “We could not have such a great cookbook without such great chefs. I loved seeing their recipes come to life at Old Government House Museum.”
Each guest received a copy of Taste along with other goodies in bags donated by WorldHouse Caribbean. The launch will be featured on Chef Lisa Mead’s television program Galley Cooking with Chef Lisa.
Cookbooks are available at retail outlets throughout the islands or at the aLookingGlass offices at Road Reef Plaza. For wholesale orders, contact books@alookingglass.com.
