What Bites in the Caribbean

2:56 pm Caribbean Traveller 0 Comments

The Caribbean is synonymous with many things, one thing at the top of the list would be our unique regional cuisine.


 The flavor profiles and, quite often, the cooking methods are like none other.

 Caribbean style cooking is celebrated internationally for the evident influences of a richly mixed culture, use of fresh tropical ingredients and a whole lot of love that goes into the recipes.

 The traveling foodie or the simply curious palate can indulge in contemporary representations of traditional or popular dishes by taking in one of the many food festivals hosted by some of your favorite Caribbean destinations.
