 by Chef Denis my initial reaction was WOW!
Pride of place
Delightful front cover picture, clean, easy-to-read layout and enticing recipes.
If I had a coffee table it would have pride of place.
Chef Denis Rosembert grew up in St Lucia where he was taught to cook by his grandmother.
Aged 15, he became an apprentice in the kitchen’s of the islands Holiday Inn Hotel where the resident chef spotted his promise and encouraged him to go to England to further his career.
He worked in various London restaurants before moving briefly to the United States.
Within a year he was back in England, eventually ending up at the Sports Village Hotel in Norwich.
Three years later, in 1992, he opened his first restaurant, Café des Amis, in the city centre.
He moved to new premises outside the city in 1998 and re-named the restaurant Chez Denis.
It has been running for 17 years and in 2012 Chef Denis moved back into the city to Orford Yard, former home of Café des Amis.
Cookery skill
This is his first cookbook and the recipes reflect his cultural background and his high-end restaurant training: deceptively simple and full of flavour.
Some degree of cookery skill or knowledge is required though – for instance, I road-tested baked dorado (sea bream) baked in banana leaf and served with a Creole sauce.
The instructions said: ‘Place the dorado fillets in a bowl and season with salt, Creole sauce and lemon juice.’
Was this a marinade – or not?
Less sauce more stew
And, if so, how long should the fish be left to marinade?
In the end, because the Creole sauce was less of a sauce and more of a pepper, leek, onion and tomato stew, I piled the seasoned fish on top of carrot batons, squeezed the lemon, and topped with a spoonful of Creole stew.
I had my doubts about the coconut cream and white wine sauce that accompanied the baked fish but my husband couldn’t fault it.
And cleaned his plate.
Ditto with the leek and spring onion soup with which we started the meal.
It was light and delicious and I wish I’d made double the quantity and frozen the left-overs for another day.
But the recipe instructions didn’t say to use the spring onions as a garnish although the illustration on the facing page clearly indicated this was the proper thing to do.
Presumably regular diners at Chez Denis would be familiar with the dishes and wouldn’t share my hesitations.
But if Chef Denis wants to extend his reach, slightly more precise instructions would be a good first step.
I wish there had been a little more back story too – I’d have loved anecdotes and background about Chef Denis and his family and the source of his recipes.
And an index at the back to make it easier to find particular recipes.
But these are small quibbles.
These colourful, infectious, mostly easy-to-follow recipes will soon have you inviting family and friends cooking up your own taste of the French Caribbean.

If an international student(Canadian) is looking at matching back in the USA in a MD residency what would a potential hierarchy be. Would a Canadian studying Osteopathic Med in the states in comparison to a Canadian studying in Ireland or Carrib with the same board scores have preference in matching(fam or internal meds)? Would an MD (MBBS) from Ireland be regarded due to the long history of the schools in that nation?
A DO from a US school is better than any international degree for matching in the US.
Not sure if I completely understand all of your questions, but here is some background information that may help.
For the purpose of residency applications, students at Canadian medical schools are NOT considered international medical graduates in the strictest sense of the word (The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) is the nationally recognized accrediting authority for medical education programs leading to the M.D. degree in U.S. and Canadian medical schools. The LCME is sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges and the American Medical Association). Canadian graduates are usually viewed equally during the residency match process.
Generally, if you are a graduate of a US or Canadian allopathic school or an osteopathic school, you tend to fare better in the US match process than if you went to school in Europe or the Caribbean (true international medical graduates). It matters more where you graduated from medical school than where you are from as a citizen.
MBBS's are usually accepted at US GME programs as long as the applicant went through all of the steps to become eligible for US residency.In his first game as Mumbai captain, Pollard blazed 83 off 31 balls against KXIP.
In a cute moment after Mumbai Indians‘ thrilling last-ball victory over Kings XI Punjab in game 24 of IPL 2019, the man of the moment Kieron Pollard picked up his little son Kaiden and engulfed him in a bear hug before the two shared a few words together.
While speaking to iplt20.com after the match, Pollard asked his son Kaiden whether he enjoyed his innings.
Smiling, Pollard told viewers that it was his wife Jenna’s birthday and then wished her all the best back in Miami.
This was the first time Pollard was leading Mumbai, after Rohit was sidelined with injury to miss his first IPL game in 11 years.

EAGLES blogger SAM ROSS believes victory over Middlesbrough this weekend is crucial if Crystal Palace are to maintain their promotion bid and also backs Blackburn to make a late surge for the play-offs.
WITH two back-to-back London derbies now behind them, it’s time for the Eagles to look towards the ‘business’ end of the season and start turning all their draws into wins.
Despite winning just two of their last 10 games, Ian Holloway’s side have luckily remained in the top six and even had a sniff of re-entering the automatic promotion places.
The next three matches are huge for Palace’s promotion chances, starting with Saturday’s encounter against Middlesbrough.
Boro could leapfrog the Eagles with victory and, after theirs and Hull’s victories last night, Palace really must win. Any more slip ups and we will not be fortunate enough to remain in the play-off places by the end of the month, with teams outside the top six ready to take our place.
There is certainly a buzz around Selhurst after the January transfer window and Kevin Phillips again proved how good an acquisition he was on Friday night.
I have been waiting for a clever and old head to come into the side for a while now and Phillips is arguably the first since Dougie Freedman.
In only two matches for Palace, it is already great seeing his movement off the ball and the quality he still has, despite being 39-years-old.
There is no doubt he will play a big role in Palace’s push for promotion.
We have lost only seven times this season, with table-toppers Cardiff the only team to lose less games and even they aren’t immune from sinking down the table this year.
Already 11 points clear of third place, many people would say Cardiff are odds on to play in the Premier League next season - but I certainly wouldn’t back them.
As their previous failings suggest, they can easily miss out on promotion and it will be solely down to themselves if they do so.
They are the best team in the league for me and in Peter Whittingham have the most gifted and consistent midfielder the Championship has seen in the last three years.
With the reappointment of Billy Davies, hopefully Nottingham Forest can put behind them the nonsense which has been happening at the City Ground this season and concentrate on football.
Despite being the third manager this season, Forest are just nine points off the play-offs and under Davies I expect them to mount a late push.
But the real team to watch out for right now is Blackburn.
They look very assured having finally found a manager in Michael Appleton who is able to control the club, and with the recent acquisition of DJ Campbell to partner Jordan Rhodes, they pose a real goal-scoring threat,
