Caribbean Recipes

The Caribbean has some of the most delicious food in the world. These recipes are for anyone who grew up eating these dishes and wants to learn how to make them, or discovered them on a trip and hasn't stopped thinking about them since.

Every recipe here comes straight from my Caribbean friends and family, so you can recreate the flavours you love at home.

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

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 fresh and citrusy Tuna Carpaccio is inspired by a dish I had at a restaurant in St. Maarten.
