Product Description:
"St. John Style" is a collection of islanders favorite recipes.
Sun, sea, sand, glorious scenery and tropical breezes contribute to the
perfect setting for hostesses to entain with creativity and charm on the beautiful island of St. John. Dinner parties at island homes are casual, yet often elegant affairs. beach picnics; seaside birthday, holiday parties and lunch aboard a boat anchored
in a secluded cove are other popular ways to entertain on the island. All this done with very limited choices in grocery shopping, almost no specialty items, and sometimes even difficult in finding the basics.
"Five stop" shopping is typical on
St. John. the meal has to be planned, and armed with a grocery list, you visit the first market where two of the main ingredients ar found, followed by a stop at all the other stores for the remaining ingredients. Only then do you realize that the key
ingredients for your recipe cannot be found. This is when plan "B" goes into effect, and you end up with, hopefully, a new and creative version of the planned dish, or a very expensive spaghetti dinner ! Challenge, creativity, versatility and a sense of
humor are necessary for cooking "St. John Style".
