Details

Fanm Fò refers to the strong and radiant women who shaped Varda Étienne 's childhood, including her mother Maryse and Aunt Cocotte, who were always very present in her life. These women, often in a lively kitchen, passed on to her much more than recipes: a culture, a history, a deep love for Haiti.

With this book featuring more than 50 recipes, Varda opens the doors to her family world. We discover emblematic dishes (griot, weighed bananas, fragrant marinades, joumou soup, grilled lobsters, etc.), but also the stories of those who lovingly prepared them.

Fanm Fô celebrates the transmission of knowledge and traditions through women, the role of mothers, aunts, and grandmothers in preserving heritage, and the beauty of a vibrant and living culinary legacy. It is a generous book, imbued with emotion, pride, and gratitude.
