During the summer months, I find myself leaning heavily into fresh local produce and making the most of ingredients while they’re naturally at their peak. These Grilled Peaches, along with my Juicy Jerk Pineapple Bites, Peach Chow, and Applewood Smoke Peach Chow I did with my good friend Chef Marc a few years back, are…
Over the years I’ve shown you how to make Plantain Frittata, Panko Crusted Fried Plantain, Orange Brown Sugar Glazed Plantain and Refried Boiled Plantain, to name a few. The hot days of summer means we’re grilling more, so I felt it was time to share this delicious grilled plantain recipe with you. You’ll Need… 3…
When you’re in the mood (as was I) for a delicious slice of Pineapple Upside Down Cake but you dislike baking (too precise for my liking) nor do you have the time to make one from scratch, you reach for a boxed cake mix and get busy in the kitchen. Do you enjoy your Pineapple…
Without ANY DOUBT.. this is one of my favorite Caribbean desserts! If you recall back in 2013 I shared an (if not the first) online version of this Currants Roll Recipe. However this time I’ll show you an even easier method of making it. Without sacrificing taste, texture and overall flavor. You’ll Need… 1 puff…
Nothing SCREAMS summer better than Ice Cream! Well, maybe snow cones and/or chilled adult beverages. And while dad convinced us growing up that Coconut Ice Cream was superior to all others (with just cause) and though I have a special place in my heart for Rum and Raisin, I’d be telling a lie if I…
Juicy and BURSTING with the flavors of Allspice, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Brown Sugar and Scotch Bonnet peppers, these Jerk Pineapple Bites are guaranteed to be a hit with your family and friends. Roasted in the oven or slide them onto a bamboo skewer and grill them off on your BBQ this summer. Your pineapple game will…
Let’s be CLEAR, this is NOT a traditional Caribbean Christmas cake. However, this is for people who want cake but are a bit afraid of baking. For those of us who want something close to a traditional holiday cake, but didn’t soak their fruits for months leading up to Christmas as we normally do in…
It was a COLD Fall morning that I found myself at the Royal Agricultural Fair In Toronto… when I tried a sample of pepper jelly to hopefully wake myself up with the kick from the peppers. Disappointment set in as soon as it hit my taste-buds.. Yea, there wasn’t any heat. Lovely flavor, but no…
As a kid growing up in the Caribbean one of my favorite preserves was and it continues to be Pineapple Jam. As a matter of fact, I’ll demolish anything made or which includes pineapple.. INCLUDING Pizza! We’ll chat about that pizza and upside down cake another day.. lets rock this jam! You’ll Need… 1 large…
Sorrel juice is a MUST around Christmas time (when the flowers are usually in season) and to be honest with you, while most people like it served with ice, I like it both warn (like a tea) and cold. This time however, we’ll use the same sort of process for making the juice, but we’ll…
With summer in full swing, I thought it was time to roll out this unique sorbet recipe for you to have some fun with. While I’ve never seen Portugals (say pooteegal if you’re old school) readily available outside Trinidad and Tobago (no it’s not Jamaican ugly fruit), you can use clementines or mandarins and if…
I’m not the biggest fan of banana bread.. or so I thought, until I started making this stunning banana fruit nut bread. An excellent way to start the day > a thick slice, warmed for about 10 seconds, a thin layer of butter and my fav cup of coffee. The difference? (why I like this…
