Andre Fowles, a Jamaican-born chef and author of My Jamaican Table: Vibrant Recipes from a Sun-Drenched Island(Artisan), interweaves his journey and passion for cooking with humble, deeply personal beginnings. Raised in Kingston by his mother and beloved grandmother, Mama Cherry, Fowles learned that food is not merely what is presented on the plate, but rather an act of love—rooted in the effort put behind it, from the fresh ingredients, to the careful preparation and layered flavors. Now based in New York, he honors the rich culinary traditions of his Jamaican roots by offering a creative, accessible guide for home cooks. In doing so, Fowles invites readers to experience Jamaican cuisine through the culture, history, and heart behind every dish.
