Riassunto

Kelis' love affair with food started as a child. A native New Yorker, her mother worked as a chef in her own catering business, run out of their home in Harlem. Driven by the speed and the intensity in the kitchen, Kelis' passion behind watching her mother cook inspired her to roll up her sleeves. Every detail was clear and defined: Red lips, red nails, perfume, earrings and a military demeanour she felt in the presence of a master while watching her mother work. At age 17, Kelis signed her first recording contract and began to travel the world. She discovered local outdoor markets and tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurants and considered them the hidden treasures of her journeys. After 10 years in the music business, Kelis decided to attend Le Cordon Bleu. Attending the famous cooking school gave Kelis the confidence to call herself a chef and to write her first cookbook. My Life on a Plate tells Kelis' personal story through the food she creates. Her style has been moulded by her culture, her travels, and all the people she met along the way. This book is a collection of her favourite recipes. It features a mix of foods from her Puerto Rican heritage, such as Pernil (Puerto Rican Pork Shoulder), Arroz con Gandules, and Shrimp Alcapurias along with dishes she created after discovering them on her travels around the world such as Malay Curry Chicken and Swedish Meatballs.

Recensione:

'After a glittering career as a singer/songwriter [Kelis] enrolled on a Cordon Bleu course and is now a successful chef too. As a performer Kelis travelled the world, and those influences are reflected in the food she loves to cook.' [...] A wonderful, inspiring book, there's a recipe for every occasion and taste.' Waitrose Weekend

'The flavours are distinctly mouth-watering and bright. There are gorgeous meats and pastries [...] It's also a tribute to her culinary roots in Puerto Rico and to the countries and cities that have shaped her palate and recipe repertoire.' --Metro

'The indomitable US R&B star, who introduced a surprise culinary aside with her album Food, now delivers a cookbook. A good dining escort but not necessarily concerned with your waistline' Grazia

'With recipes like Malay Chicken Curry, Swedish Meatballs and Shrimp Alcapurias it may not be what you expect of 'soul food' but that's exactly what these recipes are.' --Pride

'The award-winning singer/songwriter - the daughter of a musician and a chef - shows that she is also a mean cook in this gorgeous and enticing fusion cookbook with a melting cookpot of recipes inspired by Southern soul food, Caribbean and Asian cuisine.' --The Bookseller
