Mauritian Cuisine

Mauritian Cuisine Créole Flavours of the Indian Ocean

By Lynette Mary Raymond

Mauritian Cuisine is a fusion of foods, spices, and recipes derived from the Créole, African, French, Indian, Chinese and British culinary traditions. The Island of Mauritius enjoys a tropical climate with tropical fruits and seafood being a natural and plentiful resource. Protein foods such as chicken, fish, pulses, legumes, eggs, and beef are often used. Many foods are suitable for people choosing a vegetarian diet.  The author hopes that the Mauritian recipes contained in this cookbook and the photos of the island tempt future generations to eat and live well and to travel to the Island of Mauritius on their holidays. Bon Appétit!
