So, who else really loved Caribbean food?
“Sting and his wife just love everything I cook for them. They are very curious about different tastes, so I can make my curries and throw in my spices. Many clients have their own particular taste that forces me to a Eurocentric menu but, with people like Sting, I can introduce my island. I do customise menus based on the client’s requests, dietary requirements, entertainment needs creating a wide range of meals to best reflect any situation: business meetings, special events, private family meals.” What’s up with Caribbean cuisine? “With the Food Network and other programmes, Americans are going crazy on ethnic. Caribbean food is hot. I love to introduce it when I can, like using plantain chips with guacamole instead of potato. Every opportunity I get, it’s about home. In fact, I went to a very up-market restaurant the other night called Negril. What an experience to see so many people from different walks of life, different cultures, all enjoying Caribbean food. It made me proud.” W
