This was very good. I didn't have allspice or lime and I didn't have fresh ginger so I used powdered, but other then that I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. Fast and easy also.

I've lived in Seattle for the past 20 years. I'm a scientist who works in the pharmaceutical industry and I cook for fun and relaxation. I read cookbooks like novels and have trouble passing a used bookstore without going in. My current favorite cookbooks are Pam Anderson's How to Cook Without a Book, Jerry Traunfeld's The Herbfarm Cookbook, and Shirley Corriher's Cookwise.
