  This creole meals was delicious! Jounen Kwéyòl   Jounen Kwéyòl | Creole vibes continue! I know Jounen Kwéyòl has passed, but I finally had the time to prepare a little Creole meal this evening — nothing extravagant, just hearty, simple, and flavourful. The avocados weren't quite like the ones back home in the Caribbean, but they did the job! I was so happy to find okra (or "gumbo" as some call it) at the Chinese shop — they even had yams and a few Caribbean staples.  On tonight’s menu: green fig and saltfish sautéed in coconut oil, fried plantain, cucumber salad, avocado, tomatoes, boiled okra, and a glass of lemonade. Simple, satisfying, and so delicious!  Tomorrow's plan: cocoa tea and ripe plantain for breakfast.😋 Hope you all had a wonderful Jounen Kwéyòl weekend!      🌺💙☀️✨️🍽🥥🥑🍋🥣🥘 . . . . . #simplemealswithjess #creolefood #caribbean #creole #jounenkweyol #stlucia #greenfigandsaltfish #greenbanaandsaltfish #creoleher...

  I had the pleasure of preparing a Caribbean spread for our guests, and sharing my culture through food is something I truly love. I also enjoy discovering and trying new cuisines, so this evening felt extra special. It was a wonderful night — every dish turned out delicious, and most importantly, our guests truly enjoyed it. On the menu: traditional chicken thigh stew with caramelized sugar, chicken curry wings the right way (just like my mom taught me), macaroni and cheese, green banana salad, carrot slaw, fried plantains in coconut oil, and a simple cake topped with honey-infused banana slices (I should have made a coconut cake though 🤪). Of course, my famous spiced rum punch for apéro, and for dessert, a Caribbean-style café gourmand. For me, cooking is like art — a way to express love, culture, and creativity. Anyone wants to hire me? Just kidding 😁😋💜    Visit ‪@simplemealswithjess‬ for simple meal ideas and recipes.         #h...
