America's First Gluten-Free Caribbean-influenced Cookbook Recipes Are Being Featured at Bimini Boatyard. Chef Michael Bennett 's first cookbook "In the Land of Misfits, Pirates and Cooks" and Bimini Boatyard restaurant ~ now sustain Gluten-Free recipes.



FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, July 10, 2011 -- Chef Michael Bennett 's first cookbook "In the Land of Misfits, Pirates and Cooks"and Bimini Boatyard restaurant ~ now sustain Gluten-Free recipes. Chef Michael's 180 page, four color cookbook serves up easy to read delectable GF recipes that Bimini Boatyard is emphasizing on their Caribbean-inspired menu.


This cookbook and the restaurant's Gluten-Free menu is the result of chef Michael Bennett 's collaborating compelling Caribbean cookery elements and structuring them into a Gluten-free equilibrium. Both are overflowing with a scrumptious mix of seasoning blends and marinades, salads, appetizers and entrees.


This healthy Gluten-Free recipe styling captures the distinct local flavor of a multi-national cookery heritage while keeping recipes vigorously vibrant. Powerful photography, easy to use design, one-of-a-kind recipe flow and interesting helpful sidebars and QR (Quick Response) codes blend to create the perfect sampling of what this multi-cultural, Caribbean based cookery style has to offer.

These Gluten-free recipes were developed for true fans of Caribbean cuisine - that know "curry powder" or a "jerk glaze" are not the only examples of a Caribbean chef's repertoire. Chef Michael Bennett asserts that after working in applaudable Caribbean dining venues, each played an important role in the successful dispatch of these new Gluten-Free, mostly seafood recipes. Michael's travel and cookery foundation stems from his years of working in the Caribbean. While living in the Caribbean, whether it was on a British, American, French or Spanish island nation, Michael used these culinary experiences to shape this new unprecedented Gluten-Free recipe collection.
