A Taste of the Caribbean is the first Rustie Lee Cookbook in over 23 years, detailing Rustie's favourite Caribbean recipes.

Rustie Lee's full-bodied laugh has been missing from our screens for quite a while now, but don't be fooled into thinking the former telly chef has disappeared into oblivion.

She's been hard at work on her latest project, a recipe book and accompanying DVD, both of which hit the shops on December 7. Rustie Lee - A Taste of the Caribbean is her first recipe collection to be released since 1984.

This TV / celebrity chef cookbook includes Caribbean favourites such as rice and peas, ackee and saltfish, jerk chicken and traditional journey cakes, as well as Rustie's own recipes for Caribbean Christmas cake and the rum-based Rustie's Aphrodisiac Cocktail - to be followed by the lovely lady's trademark giggle.
