In 1995, Chef Jacqui Francis was invited to Jamaica House (Jamaica’s White House) to be the caterer for the Prime Minister of Jamaica. For ten years, her cuisine graced the tables of state dinners for heads of state from all over the world.

Jacqui’s love for food began with her mother and grandmother, who were great cooks and loved to entertain. She was nominated “Best Caterer” five years in a row by the Jamaica Observer, the national newspaper of Jamaica. Jacqui’s recipes have been published in several newspapers and international magazines. Since living in Houston, Jacqui has appeared on Great Day Houston, CW39, and Chew on This, TV Morning Show. She was the recipient of the International Woman of the Year Award from the Texas Women’s Forum in 2011. In 2015, she was recognized by the State of Texas Governor, in recognition for being a finalist in HEB Quest for Texas Best 2021.

What sets this book apart is the cultural insights that accompany the recipes. Jacqui gives readers a more profound comprehension of Jamaican customs and culinary tales. Through these narratives, cooking becomes more than just preparing food; it becomes an opportunity to engage with Jamaica’s rich cultural legacy.

“Nyam Thyme” is more than just a collection of recipes; it is a celebration of Jamaican culture and cuisine. Chef Jacqui Francis has created a must-have cookbook to delight and inspire anyone who loves great food and cultural exploration. This book is a culinary gem that deserves recognition and a place in every kitchen.

Recently, her book is among the books displayed by Author Reputation Press during the 76th Frankfurt Book Fair in Frankfurt, Germany, last October 16-20, 2024.  Frankfurter Buchmesse is one of the world’s most important stages for current debates on international and socio-political events.
