This was my first time planting Seim in my Canadian garden so as you can imagine I was very excited to not only make an awesome dish with it, but also share it with you all. While I did share a curry Seim recipe back in 2010 (I think), you’ll find subtle differences with this…
Confused yet? I know the title says Vegan, but Saltfish! The simple explanation is… the classic dish is called Ackee and Saltfish in Jamaica, so I felt it was the easiest way to pay tribute to this national dish, while still keeping it vegan (and gluten free) friendly. Make sense yet? You’ll Need… 1 can…
I guess I should start off with the customary Nothing About The Recipe Is Caribbean! That said, this Garlicky Herb Mushrooms was one the most requested recipes last year, after I posted a pic on Instagram. It was only natural that it was part of my #MeatFreeMondays series on YouTube. You’ll Need… 1 lb button…
Fried rice and leftovers goes hand in hand. I can’t tell you the joy I feel in my soul when I see leftover rice in the fridge. This time around along with the rice, I remembered that there was ham in the freezer from last Thanksgiving. So I give you, my quick, easy and delicious…
I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, Carilie or Bitter-melon and I (Chris) can NEVER be friends. From day one as a young fella on the islands to my grown self – mom could never get me (nor my siblings) to eat this. Maybe the ONLY way I’ve ever enjoyed Carile is when…
Two clarifications to make before we get to the recipe. 1. There’s ABSOLUTELY nothing “Caribbean” about this recipe. However I was challenged to share this Chicken Tikka Masala reccipe via Instagram and I also believe it would be something which would fit naturally within our diverse culinary landscape. And 2. …don’t spend too much time…
Fried Chicken! There are as many ways to make this iconic dish as there are people who claim that their recipe is the greatest on the planet. While I won’t make such a bold statement, I will say this fried Chicken will rival and ‘better’ many of the recipes you’ve tried before. After-all my mommy…
This dish brings back a ton of memories every-time I make it. I first shared this recipe back in 2018 on the YouTube channel and to this day it’s still a hit. As a young fella on the islands, Saturdays were reserved for attending Kung Fu movies at the local cinemas in San Fernando with…
CHOW! A beloved spicy pickle (quick) made in the Southern Caribbean with green mangoes or other tart fruit. Over the years I’ve shared several “chow” recipes with you all. From the traditional mango, to cucumber, orange, apple and the Applewood Smoked Pineapple (still a fav on the website) which was insanely tasty. Like the others,…
This sort of dish is typically done with fresh ocean or mangrove crabs in the Caribbean. However, the few times I can get crayfish (or is it crawfish?) locally here in Hamilton, Ontario – I jump at the chance to put them to use. This recipe is based on the classic Curry Crab and Dumplings…
If you’re looking for a quick and delicious way to oven roast a chicken, I’v got such a recipe to share with you today. Mom would do something similar for us when we were kids on the islands, but heavier on the seasoning and she would cut the chicken into parts. Additionally, she never finished…
If I had a dollar! Jamaican Style steamed cabbage, is probably one of the most requested recipes I get via Instagram, especially from those who have visited Jamaica at some point in their life and have had the pleasure of this simple dish. Not necessarily a “Jamaican” dish, as I’ve had it throughout the Caribbean…
