A Taste of the Caribbean. We bring the best of Caribbean cooking and recipes.
Brown Cow is one of those drinks I always love to make when liming with friends and family. But the version I remember most clearly came from a rum shop in South Trinidad. It’s a classic and will always have me ordering a few back-to-back. One day, I asked for the recipe, and to my […]
In our home, there’s always a stash of sardines. It’s a Caribbean household, so we eat it with basically anything. I especially love sardines with tomato sauce. My mother used to throw it together effortlessly. Just a few ingredients, she would make these tasty sardines in tomato sauce. These days, I whip it up when […]
In my kitchen, cooking a little extra rice has become second nature. I leave it ready for a quick stir-fry or a late lunch. But extra jerk chicken? Now that’s a surprise. Jerk chicken goes so fast in my house. Old habits die hard, though. Even with my children at their granny’s house this July-August […]
Jamaica always had bold flavors, and you can find them in every meal. One of those unforgettable flavors is a jerk marinade. Whether it’s on a Sunday chicken or sizzling over hot coals at a beach lime, jerk will always be one of the most popular dishes to come from this amazing country. Today, I’m […]
Sweet. Sticky. Spicy. A true taste of Trinidad’s street food culture in every bite. Growing up in San Fernando, there were few things more exciting than seeing a street vendor’s clear plastic jars filled with red mangoes. Now that I’m older and cooking for others, I realize how special it is to recreate these flavors […]
Fall-off-the-bone tenderness, bold island flavor, and a slow-cooked twist that will keep you coming back for more. Curry goat is a must-have for every birthday lime, or beach. But let’s be real: curry goat takes time. Between seasoning, marinating, and that tough cut of meat needing hours to tenderize. A slow cooker gives the goat […]
I remember the first time I tried brown stew chicken. It was at a family gathering in south Trinidad, but the woman who made it was Jamaican-born. She told stories between spoonfuls, and when I tasted it, I understood why. Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken is one of those dishes that is a must-have for every […]
As a child, I did not like curry egg. At least not how my father made it. The yolk would be dry, and the sauce didn’t have much flavor. So I avoided it for years. But as I got older and started exploring simple ways to add protein into my diet, I gave it another […]
I’ll never forget the sight of my granny in the kitchen, her hands stained deep red as she rubbed roucou seeds by hand. She’d store the liquid in recycled rum bottles or glass jars, lining them up neatly on the shelf. Anytime she made stew, she’d reach for that roucou. That earthy, peppery note gave […]
Curry goat was always on our Sunday lunch table, especially for big family limes and holidays. That spicy, saucy dish is a Caribbean classic—and honestly, I never thought anything could top it. But one day I decided to switch things up and try stew goat instead. Let me tell you—this recipe changed everything. The first […]
