Caribbean Recipes

Discover Caribbean recipes that bring the delicious flavours of the islands to your kitchen.

Looking to recreate a taste from your travels? Want to connect with your Caribbean heritage? Or simply ready to explore bold new flavours? These recipes celebrate the rich culinary world of Trinidadian cuisine and the broader Caribbean.

Start with two classics that define Trinidadian comfort food: Macaroni Pie and Pelau, both hearty, satisfying dishes that anchor any meal.

When you're ready for something sweet, try Jamaican Easter Bun, a beloved family recipe shared with me by my friend Lisa, in memory of her mother.

Cool down with a glass of Sorrel Drink, made with hibiscus and warm spices, traditionally served around the holidays.

If you're looking for something lighter, this Tuna Carpaccio is inspired by a dish I had at a restaurant in St. Maarten. It's fresh, citrusy, and perfect for warm weather.
