There are few drinks that say Caribbean quite like Mauby, and this Refreshing Caribbean Mauby Lemonade is one of my favourite ways to enjoy it on a hot day. While this isn’t your traditional Caribbean Mauby recipe, it beautifully combines the distinctive earthy, slightly bitter notes of Mauby with the bright, thirst-quenching flavour of freshly…
This Comforting Breadfruit Oil Down recipe shares a few similarities with a dish known as Run Down, enjoyed throughout parts of the Caribbean and along the Caribbean coast of Central America. However, it should never be confused with Grenadian Oil Down, the national dish of Grenada. Their version is traditionally thicker and drier, packed with…
Stewed Oxtail is one of those deeply comforting dishes synonymous with the Caribbean, especially Jamaica, even though it’s enjoyed throughout the region and in the many places we now call home around the world. In preparing this Smoked Stewed Oxtail recipe, I leaned on a tip Chef Chaz Brown shared with me a few months…
This Grilled Corn Salad is not necessarily a traditional Caribbean recipe, with our adoration of grilled corn (we say roast corn) throughout the Caribbean, along with the fresh and vibrant ingredients used here, it’s definitely a crowd pleaser, and something I’ve served many guests over the years. The combination of smoky grilled corn, sweet pineapple,…
Admittedly, I wasn’t exposed to herb roasted potatoes, or even fingerling potatoes for that matter, growing up in the Caribbean. Potatoes, or aloo as it’s sometimes called in Trinidad and Tobago, tend to be used in dishes such as Aloo Choka, Curry Aloo, Fry Aloo, and Curry Channa and Aloo. They’re also commonly added to…

Jamaican Brown Stew Salmon is a comforting, flavor-rich dish that reflects the deep traditions of Caribbean cooking. While it’s widely known as a Jamaican classic, the truth is you’ll find similar brown stew techniques used across many islands, each with its own subtle touch. Traditionally, this style of dish is made with whole fish such…
Simple Oven Roasted Rou Cou (Annatto) Chicken is one of those dishes that connects modern home cooking with some of the oldest traditions of Caribbean food culture. Rou cou, also known as annatto or achiote, has been used by Indigenous communities across the Caribbean and South America for generations. In my own kitchen, this vibrant…
Easy Slow Cooker Jerk Pork is one of those meals that fills your kitchen with the warm, comforting scent of the Caribbean long before dinner is ready. While jerk chicken may be more popular with many who enjoy Caribbean cuisine, jerk pork has always been my preference. Over the years, I’ve shared my Lazy Man’s…
Caribbean Brown Stewed Duck Wings is not something you would normally see on a Caribbean dinner table, but Caribbean cooking has always been about technique, not strict rules. I created this dish to take full advantage of the classic Caribbean brown stew method when duck wings are available and affordable, often at Asian supermarkets. The…
There was a time when winter never stopped me from firing up the grill or smoker. I would bundle up, brave the cold, and cook outside even when the temperatures dipped well into the negative Celsius range.
