...in my Creole Kitchen you ll find laughter, ancestral stories, childhood memories, inherited recipes, tradition and a blend of culinary brilliance from those I learned from throughout the years.
In my Creole Kitchen you ll chop fresh herbs, clean fresh whole fish with splashes of freshly squeezed lime. You will experience fresh chillies and will end up smelling aromas you ve never smelled before, that trigger an instant sense of comfort.
The food from my Creole Kitchen is simple, easy to make yet comforting. It reflects the rustic Amerindians love for seafood, African customary usage of tubers and a tradition of slow-cooked stews. French, Spanish, Portuguese Dutch and English cooking techniques and a myriad of spices help to bring the flavours together.
My Creole Kitchen brings people together around the one thing that matters most when you celebrate life on the islands; food. It is the place that encloses secret recipes, memories and traditions I often revisit for a sense of home. Vanessa Bolosier
