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.
