Think Surinamese food is heavy, difficult, and time-consuming? Not if Raghenie has anything to say about it! In 'Madame Jeanette,' she serves over a hundred dishes, with most of them featuring vegetables as the star. Think bami, pom, mashed potatoes with the Hindustani spice mix masala, Surinamese brown beans with rice, chutney, pickles, and mango cake. She also explains in this cookbook that flavorful food doesn't always have to be spicy. The book is named after the aromatic pepper loved throughout Suriname and far beyond.

To truly embrace Surinamese cuisine is to understand it; it's a melting pot with roots in Africa, Indonesia, India, and China. Madame Jeanette (the book) is packed with recipes, family stories, unique encounters, and a detailed account of a culinary study trip to Suriname. With stunning photography that jumps off the pages and a good dose of humor, Raghenie offers a peek into traditional Surinamese cooking, then gives it a modern twist using Dutch gems like beetroot, pointed cabbage, and Brussels sprouts, alongside Surinamese veggies like yardlong beans, bitter melon, and okra.

With this package, you can get started right away and easily whip up the delicious dishes from the book at home!
