Ever since I was a child I have felt at home in the kitchen it has been an important part of my life and is an important part of Caribbean family life's. For generations and for people from all corners of the world it is a source of socialising and bonding with family and friends, It is never just about great flavour and food though but also great memories, music, friendship, love, laughter and culture... it all gets cooked up.

You don't need to be the best cook in the world to feel good in the kitchen. I've created and used recipes and ingredients that are accessible enough you can re-create them at home with minimal fuss and maximum flavour whilst creating your own memories as you do.
