My name is Mercedes Baynes and it's no surprise that I am doing this at all. The only thing that is surprising is the way in which I am reaching out to you. I always love to cook.. and be creative with different flavors. It is a great feeling when I take a bunch of herbs, spices and other raw ingredients and just create a great meal. For me, every dish I create is a masterpiece and I get the most satisfaction just by having others indulge in my meals. My style of cooking is very "old school caribbean. I love simple and different methods of preparing dishes to create meals that are just filled with flavors and satisfying to both the eyes and palate. One pot meals, stews, fish, soups, fritters, cakes and puddings and homemade drinks. Stew down salt fish and johnny cake with a glass of ginger beer or ice water great on a Saturday afternoon. Ms Nicalos ginger wine bread pudding or John Miller's rice and spinach cook-up with fish are some of my favorite dishes. I can go on and on. How I miss those days. I really hope that this website will bring back memories in some of us and create new ones in others.

Caribbean Cuisine -- An Overview

Lately a lot of fusion cuisine restaurants have been popping up all over the globe, but Caribbean cuisine has always been a mixture of many different tastes and styles from all those that have ventured to the cool clear waters of the islands that make up this colorful land. The interesting thing about Caribbean cuisine is that this type of food is really a synthesis of African, Amerindian, French, Indian, and Spanish cuisine all rolled into one. Caribbean cuisine is both tantalizing and intriguing, which is why this type of food is swiftly gaining in popularity every day.

When you embark on the journey into Caribbean cuisine, you will taste spices, flavors, and unique additives from all over the globe. Although Caribbean cuisine is an amalgamation of all the aforementioned flavors, those that have come to call the Caribbean home have also created a style of cooking that is strictly found within the islands that make up this colorful area of the world. One popular Caribbean dish is known as “jerk,” and this consists of highly seasoned meat, chicken, and even goat. In fact, “jerk” takes its flavors from Indian curry, but the flavors of Caribbean jerk are much more intense. Some other flavors that you will find within Caribbean cuisine include ginger, lime, seafood, peppers, and some cleverly concocted spices.

If you have never had Caribbean cuisine, it’s time to prepare your taste buds. While there is no one way to describe Caribbean cuisine, those that have tried it simply cannot get enough of the many flavors that seem to perfectly blend together in order to create a truly authentic cuisine.
