A Celebration of Jamaican Food Culture in 100 Recipes

Delve into West Winds — the most-talked-about cookbook of 2022 and a joyous celebration of Jamaican food culture.

Read it, cook from it, immerse yourself in it — West Winds introduces everyone, everywhere to the sensational flavours of Jamaica. Growing up in London and now living in Berlin, food writer Riaz Phillips is passionate about celebrating the familiar Caribbean food of his childhood while also demystifying new and unknown ingredients for home-cooks from around the globe. With 100 traditional and delicious dishes that draw on Riaz's memories, West Winds is so much more than a showcase of Jamaican cooking, it is also rooted in the exploration of the island's heritage and culture.

Featuring colourful and sun-drenched imagery, Riaz blends authentic Jamaican ingredients and dishes with popular trends — you will find recipes for nose-to-tail and vegan cooking. Recreate popular takeaway food, Oxtail and Butterbean, or feel as though you're on the beach with a Conch Soup. This cookbook has everything — main meals, sauces, soups, juices and preserves, bakes and desserts.

So whether you seek connection with your heritage or enjoy discovering new food, take a trip to Jamaica with West Winds.

About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.

I loved how inclusive this space was, there were dyslexia friendly books and a space for books about queer love, a bit of something for everyone.
