For me, cooking is like art — a way to express love, culture, and creativity. Anyone wants to hire me? Just kidding 😁😋💜

 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 😁😋💜

  Curry Chicken Recipe       Hello everyone!     Often I have observed people adding curry to the pot while the meat is cooking, therefore when eaten you could taste the raw curry as opposed to a tasty curry stew when done right.   I have shared my flavourful curried chicken recipe.
