Morgan Freeman and Friends: Caribbean Cooking for a Cause

Author: Wendy Wilkinson

Academy Award®-winning actor Morgan Freeman and a star-studded group of celebrities contribute exotic recipes and personal island tales in a splendid cookbook created to help rebuild the hurricane-devastated island of Grenada.

In September 2004, Hurricane Ivan ravaged the small Caribbean island of Grenada, destroying homes and changing lives forever. Longtime island-lover Morgan Freeman established the Grenada Relief Fund in 2005. Now comes this beautiful cookbook, bringing together a bevy of celebrities to benefit this island in need.

This star-studded cookbook features:

• more than 15 celebrities—including Michael Douglas, Kenny Chesney, Katie Couric, Tom Hanks, Hilary Swank, and Alicia Keys—appearing in gorgeous full-color photographs, sharing their favorite Caribbean recipes, and telling heartwarming stories of what the islands mean to them

• dozens of delicious recipes, such as Grilled Swordfish Steak with Lemon Caperberry Butter from Morgan Freeman, and Kenny Chesney’s favorite Key Lime Pie with photographs of Mr. Chesney baking it himself in the kitchen of his home on St. John

• renowned chefs from Caribbean hideaways of the stars and top-rated resorts, revealing some of their most coveted Caribbean recipes

Morgan Freeman is donating all of his proceeds to the Grenada Relief Fund

Library Journal

After Hurricane Ivan destroyed much of Grenada in late 2004, actor Morgan Freeman established a relief fund to help rebuild the Caribbean island that had become his second home. For this cookbook, authors Lee, Freeman's sister-in-law, and Wilkinson, both in the PR business, have collected recipes from other celebrities who are island lovers and from chefs, organized by country: Michael Douglas, for example, introduces the Bermuda chapter and recipes from his favorite restaurant there. Most of the recipes are for sophisticated fare, such as Butter-Poached Spiny Lobster with Mango Butter, and there are color photographs throughout of the dishes and the celebrities.
