GREAT BAY, St. Martin ( —From Yvette’s Kitchen To Your
Table – A Treasury of St. Martin’s Traditional and Contemporary Cuisine
by Yvette Hyman, is now in its 4th printing, which has just been
released here by House of Nehesi Publishers (HNP).
The cookbook
has been a bestseller since it was first published in 2011. The island’s
bookshops have been without the title, however, since mid-2014, when
the third printing was sold out, said HNP president Jacqueline Sample.
“Mr.
Albert Chance at Van Dorp bookstore and Ms. Karen Richardson of
Shipwreck Shops can both attest to the demand for Yvette’s cookbook from
St. Martin’s people and tourists,” said Sample.
The new copies
of From Yvette’s Kitchen To Your Table are now available at Van Dorp,
Shipwreck, Yvette’s Restaurant, and www.SPDbooks.org, said Sample.
Among
the book’s 312 colorful pages, St. Martin classic favorites such as
souse, Johnny cake, Conch Yvette’s, lamb stew, coconut tart, guavaberry
and soursop drink are just a few of the over 200 recipes by Yvette
Hyman. The award-winning chef also founded, along with her husband
Felix, the Yvette’s Restaurant in French Quarter.
The 13 chapters
of the hardcover book include Appetizers, Soups, Poultry, Fish and
Shellfish, Meat, Salads, Dumplings, Rice and Fungi, Breads, and
Desserts, said Sample.
