What is Fabulous Fiji Recipes: Your New Favorite Cookbook of Delicious Fijian Dish Ideas! about?

Where are the islands of Fiji? How does their location influence the ingredients they use? What cultures have had effects on their cuisine? Fiji is in the southern Pacific Ocean, nearly 2,000 miles north of the country of New Zealand. It includes more than 300 islands, and about 900,000 people call Fiji “home.” Fiji’s population consists of many Melanesians and Polynesians, as well as immigrants from many areas of the world. Since there are people from so many diverse cultures living there, Fijian cuisine is influenced by elements from Polynesia, India, China and Europe. The locals use cassava (also called yuca) quite often in their dishes, in addition to taro root. They are starchy roots and typically served roasted or boiled. Cassava is especially valuable in desserts, including a “pudding” called vakalolo, made with grated cassava, sugar and coconut, all steamed in banana leaves. Fresh fishes are not surprisingly quite popular in Fiji. Mahi mahi, known locally as kokoda, is often made with a marinade of lemon juice and coconut cream. Tropical fruits are plentiful, as well, including mango, papaya, pineapple and banana. Want to learn more about this island cuisine? Turn the page
