I have come to realize some things after visiting and spending time in my beloved Jamaica. The island, the culture and the people give me a wonderful sense of well being... for many reasons.
Inspirational cooking for one...and it's not about whether I have the most authentic recipe, or if I can cook just like...or better than a Jamaican, but whether we enjoy our recipes. Jamaicans cook with love and use what they have around them...just as we all should. A dish is what tastes good to you... and if it doesn't have some of the ingredients that are found on the island...it's now become YOUR recipe : )
Jamaica can inspire...and taking the most from each reach and visit is all we can do to recreate what we love
Cook because you enjoy to create and that alone brings a sense of happiness...
