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.
