Describe your Cuisine

>> Saturday 17 January 2009


When asked to describe Caribbean cuisine, one word that frequently comes to our minds is "spicy". However, when we say spicy I think that it is interpreted solely to mean hot – heat from the scotch bonnet peppers our region is known for. This interpetation is not exactly true. Read this week's column to get an idea about how to describe and interpret Caribbean Cuisine.

Dishes such as this Pumpkin Pudding is an example of our sweet-spicy-side. Email me for the recipe.


A low and slow cooked stew like pork and beans reveals the depth of flavour our cuisine is known for. Recipe available.


Like I said in the column, "We are hot, we are spicy, we are sour, we are sweet, we are salty, we are tasty, we are tangy, we are sharp and even though we are mild at times, one thing we are not is bland."
