Caribbean food recs

EzraBrooks

Visited the Caribbean for the first time this past summer and fell in love with the food. I found a great jerk recipe here that I have made a couple of times but looking to go further down the rabbit hole. Anyone have recommendations for other Caribbean recipes like curry or have recommendations for a great Caribbean cookbook?

Nothing regarding recipes but Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning is great.  The hot does bring the heat and with great flavour (nod).

That is an acknowledgement to those forum members aligned with the Commonwealth who favour (nod) the "u" .  I use it whenever a word I am familiar with presents the opportunity. Always with the "nod" acknowledgment. A friendly gesture as I see it.  FWIW-

Edit: I will readily convert *C to *F in a post if necessary-miles and km's are also in the mix.

Where in the Caribbean did you go? There's quite a bit to cook and enjoy, depending on what you liked during your visit. Trini grub is not to be missed IMO.

i would be happy with a recipe for the hot sauce used in the bahamas, probably a puerto rico based takeoff. has to be simple as its used on everything......

I went to Turks & Caicos.

We used to have a cookbook called “ Chickcharney” , from when we lived on Andros Island. I don’t know what ever happened to it, but there were a lot of great recipes for conch and land crab, along with different fish recipes.
Back then we used a hot sauce called Matouk’s. Can still find it here in Florida.

My oldest son’s in-laws immigrated to Canada from Trinidad (talk about extreme differences in weather) and I can confirm this statement. I always look forward to our visits to the GWN to see our grandkids, but also because I know I’ll be treated to a couple amazing meals.

You might look for a roti recipe called Buss-Up Shut (yes, that is actually the name), and serve it with curry Chana and beef curry. You will not be disappointed.
