"Jonathan Phang grew up in a hectic Chinese/Caribbean household in London that was always packed with waifs and strays as well as the wonderful, rich smells of the next delicious meal. The Pepperpot Club is a stunning collection of Caribbean recipes and Jonathan recounts his childhood which was defined by tales from the homeland, loud music, booming laughter, and his mother's spicy aromatic cooking. Jonathan's Nanny Phang had a theory: if you cook food people love to eat, you will gain all you want from life. In this book he shares recipes from family and friends from all six races of the Caribbean u East Indian, Chinese, Mixed European, African, North American and indigenous Amerindian u are celebrated and include Meatball and glass noodle soup, Chinese ribs, Jerk Chicken, Coconut cream pie and a kicker of a Rum punch. Peppered throughout are Jonathan's family photographs as well as stunning shots of the Caribbean."--Publisher's description.

This might be one of the best fiction books about a father’s ability to brainwash his son into a successful life. What seems like a tale about believing in yourself when starting life in a small village in a third-world country quickly turns into a humorous and inspirational journey about overcoming adversity and dealing with first-world problems. Join author Ramdyal Bhola as he tells a fictional story based on his life. It’s not one of those rags-to-riches stories. Still, you’ll enjoy a worldwide journey as he leaves his village in Guyana, South America, and heads from London to Australia, where he became a successful medical practitioner. You’ll even get a little insight into the Aboriginal culture and see how being brainwashed at just the right time can lead to believing in yourself, overcoming adversity, and helping others as a medical practitioner.

Pepper Pot a book full of peppery words is not the least of the other books written by Liston B. Monsanto, Sr. It is the fifth in a series of books authored by him. And whereas Kalaloo A Pepper Pot was at one time the most important and principal meal on New Years Eve (Old Years Night) in the Virgin Islands, and whereas this book (Pepper Pot) is as eclectic as Kalaloo inasmuch as it is made up of stories that are not alike, it has become, without a doubt, good food for the mind. Had it been written by the office of the Inspector General for the publics review it would have easily been called an audit.
