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.

ANNIE'S MANGO AND AVACADO SALSA

I call this Annie's Mango and Avacado Salsa simply because she loves it so much. During the winter months we somtimes reminisce about some of her favorite foods that she has had from me. Mango Salsa and banana fritters always top the list.

2 firm ripe mangoes peeled and diced
1 ripe avacado pelled and diced
1 small red onion chopped
1 jalapeno pepper chopped
2 teaspoons fresh ginger peeled and minced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime rind (grate the green part off the lime)
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
a little salt and pepper to taste

Combine all the ingredients except the cilantro in a large dish. Toss lightly, cover and refrigerate. Just before serving add the cilantro, salt and pepper to taste.

PS: This salsa is great with roast pork, grilled fish, chicken or saltfish pie.
