Cultural Influence
The Arawaks introduced the island to callaloo, cassava, corn, sweet potatoes and many of tropical fruits that is grown locally.
Then of course you have the Spanish influence, foods from the African slaves homeland, the Indian with their spicy curry, with Chinese and European also contributing to some of the aromatic smells and appetizing aroma that is in every household and wafting through the countryside.
Spicy Authentic Recipes
These authentic dishes offer an unique experience into how our meals are prepared and then cooked.
I am not a nutritionist but I have created some healthy recipes that are not high in fats, sugar or salt, and can be a little spicy.
From sampling our jerk chicken and also when you are driving through the island the aroma that makes you hungry also comes from our hot sauce that is quite mellow and flavorful.
Mixed in these recipes are loads of fresh vegetables and fruits.
We seek out organic seasonal fruits and vegetables that are mostly locally grown and can be combined with any recipes.
For the best food balance choose vegetables throughout the color spectrum of red, green, orange and yellow to get the best range of nutrients.
Come let your taste buds run free and sample some of the best foods this country has to offer.
