Macka B - Health Is Wealth

In about 1988, I picked up a copy of The Rasta Cookbook: Vegetarian Cuisine Eaten With the Salt of The Earth by Laura Osborne from a bookshop in Camden. The rice & peas recipe contained in it has been a constant in my life since. And a constant winner at that.

In the intervening years, vegan cooking has taken on a very American influence and it seems that every recipe now contains garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce and nooch. And that’s sooo boring.

This has led me to return to simplicity in cooking lately and digging out this book has been part of that. Ital is vital and all that. Rasta understands something fundamental and important about food. And life.

Which brings me on to this album by Wolverhampton’s Macka B, where he returns to the ital theme throughout.

The perfect accompaniment fe wi to eat my vegetable samosas for lunch.
