Hi there! To the probably one reader, reading this right now (mummy). I have high hopes that this number will grow......eventually. In the meantime, here we are West Indians, blogging.....ooooohh..... about food in the Caribbean. So we have our computer plugged into our tree trunk (actual question I’ve heard once) and am ready to go!
I started this blog to give people an idea of the vast number of culinary options our talented regional chefs are capable of. If you don’t know it as yet, Caribbean people loooveee to eat, and eat well we do because heaven forbid food not have any distinguishable seasoning and flavour. It’s the kiss of death for any meal leaving a West Indian kitchen.
When many people not from the region think of dining on a sunny tropical island in the Caribbean, the idea of coconuts and bananas and various properties of Carmen Miranda's hat come to mind a lot faster than necessarily required. Often times, those who are not familiar with the region forget to account for the fact that the Caribbean’s mish-mashed history has produced rich culinary traditions. The Caribbean derives influences from Africa, India, Asia, Europe, South America and the Middle East to create a variety of cuisines unique on each island.
This blog was born out of the idea to guide visitors and locals to some of the best eating spots in the Caribbean, by island, and offer the perspective of a local eye (and tongue). I’m also dedicated to highlighting special events or interesting restaurants which have that certain “je ne sais quoi” and are special for more than just their food. And so we are going....up, up and away!
