Main Course

  1. The Delicious Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken
    I am by no means a great cook-not even an average cook, but believe me, this is one of the easiest dishes to prepare, and it is still darn tasty - excuse my language. It is, try it!

  2. The Delicious Jamaican Oxtail Stew!
    Well, I have never prepared it, but my sister Neka, who is the best cook in the family, is the queen at this- and I dear say, for many of our local dishes as well. She is the BEST! When she cooks it not even the bones are spared.

  3. Jamaican Curried Goat
    Curried Goat, by the way, is one another of our popular Jamaican preparation and is a favourite with white rice, rice and peas or roasted breadfruit - breakfast, lunch or dinner!

  4. The Mouth-Watering Jamaican Curried Chicken
    Perhaps you've had jerk, but have you had the true Jamaican curried chicken? It's to die for! Needles to say that Curried Chicken (or chicken back) and dumplings is my favorite Jamaican dish!

  5. The Delectable Jamaican Jerk Chicken!
    It's savory, it's unique. Thanks to the Arawaks - the original inhabitants of the island, Jamaican jerk is now a favourite the world over!

  6. Tasty Jamaican Rice and Peas, aka Jamaican Red Beans & Rice
    Not just rice + peas! Its rice&peas :-)

  7. Jamaican Pumpkin Soup
    A traditional sat'day favourite, especially with 'chicken foot'!

    And we have some new additions!
  8. Jamaican sweet and sour pork
  9. Jamaican Jerk Seasoning - From Scratch!
  10. Jamaican Recipes For Annatto
  11. Jamaican Jerk Pork
  12. Jamaican Steamed Fish -with Okras

Drinks

  1. The Refreshing Jamaican Sorrel!
    Christmas is not the same without a tall glass of it. 

  2. Jamaican Apple Drink
    Great taste, but you'll also get amazing nutritional value.

  3. Jamaican Carrot Juice
    ...with Supligen & Guinness or Dragon stout!

  4. Jamaican Rum Punch
    Jamaican Rum Punch is one of the island’s most popular cocktail drinks.

    It shouldn't be all surprising though, considering that we Jamaicans are lovers of rum, and incidentally, are producers of some of the finest rums in the world.

  5. Jamaican Chocolate Tea (Chalk-Lit tea)
    My children new found love! We have it at least twice per week!

  6. Authentic (Home Style) Jamaican Ginger Beer (Fermented, Non-Alchohonlic)
