About

This book is about making fabulocious food for your mates and family and getting the island vibe around the table. I love savouring the taste of my own cooking and get excited at the thought of other people enjoying it, but the conversation around my table is always the highlight. Tasty food brings about the best times. When my friends sit down to eat, we speak about good happenings and glad tidings. And of course there’s always music, the radio’s on or a CD is playing to help the vibe.

When I visit family, or they come round to my place, cooking goes on all day. My sister Jean is a regular visitor, with her husband Clint and their daughters Yvonne and Michelle. What do they eat? They like it spicy! And it warms my heart to cook with them, having them help and throw their bit in as we prepare a chicken curry and some rum punch. Laid-back and relaxed people always end up together in the kitchen. And I like that. There’s never any problems apart from the pots taking too long to boil!
