Читать книгу Sweet Hands: Island Cooking from Trinidad & Tobago, 3rd edition - Ramin Ganeshram - Страница 9

Acknowledgments

Since the printing of the first edition of this book, I have been fortunate to return to Trinidad many times, meeting folks from every corner of the nation eager to share their love of home food. It has been even more gratifying to meet Trinidadian ex-pats throughout America and even in Europe who have been kind enough to share their experiences and experiments re-creating the dishes of their childhoods using this book.

I would be remiss not to acknowledge the faithful friendship and insights of my good friends Gerard Ramsawak and his wife Oda Van Der Heijden, managers of Pax Guest House at Mount St. Benedict in Tunapuna. They and their daughter Dominique have become my family in Trinidad, and staying with them at Pax is a joyful “homecoming” each and every time.

Here in the United States, the ongoing support and friendship of my brother, Ramesh Ganeshram, is a gift for which I am forever grateful. Thank you to my husband, photographer Jean-Paul Vellotti, whose 20/20 vision always helps put everything in sharpest focus and, never last, to my daughter Sophia, who represents a new generation of pride in our heritage and culture.
