Creole fish with calypso rice, peanut soup, crab gumbo with fried plantain, broiled yam and sweet potato balls, coconut ice cream and guava juice…here is the way to capture the taste of a different type of cooking. Exotic, adventurous, spicy – it’s a style that will bring the exciting taste of the Caribbean into your kitchen.
