America's First Caribbean spin Gluten-free Cookbook.

Sept. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- Chef Michael Bennett’s 180 + pages |  four color  |  125 + Gluten-free recipe cookbook was revised with an emphasis on America’s newest dining trend. It was written exclusively with Gluten-Free cooking techniques and foods that combines to formulate healthy recipes. This Caribbean-inspired cookbook’s improvement was result of Chef Michael Bennett’s collaborating years of tropical Caribbean cookery sectioning and re-structured them into a Gluten-free equilibrium. In the Land of Misfits, Pirates and Cooks is overflowing with a scrumptious mix of seasoning blends and marinades, salads, appetizers and entrees.

This healthy Gluten-Free recipe styling captures the distinct Miami flavor of a multi-national Caribbean cookery heritage, while keeping recipes gluten free and vigorously vibrant in taste-profiles. Powerful photography, easy to use unique design, one-of-a-kind recipe flow, helpful sidebars and QR (Quick Response) codes blend to create the perfect sampling of what this Gluten-Free Caribbean-based cookery style has to offer.  The QR codes link you directly to the Internet so your interactive experience is as fun as it is informative.
