A walk in a foodie's shoes.
These locally made cocktails from Liquor’d Up are potently delicious. They offer an assortment of creatively curated alcoholic treats including their 2020 summer specials: margaritas, sours and daiquiris. I personally love how they have revamped the popular childhood (non-alcoholic) refreshers called the “suck-ah-bubby”. As a kid, these tasted like frozen koolaid served up in a […]
These little puffs of joy are easy to make and are a part of a traditional Bajan breakfast. I also enjoy them as a snack! I discovered they pair seamlessly with a homemade cinnamon cream cheese spread which I highly recommend trying too. Ingredients 2lbs pumpkin 1 tsp salt 1 cup flour 2 teaspoons baking […]
Josephines is a quaint cafe in Bridgetown with fantastic food and friendly service. I’ve dined at Josephines twice, and was quite happy with each food experience; especially because everything tasted so fresh! I will recommend getting an early reservation in the morning as all seating is outside, and can feel a little humid as the […]
Tides is a beachfront fine dining restaurant in Barbados, located in a prime location on the West Coast. From the attentive, friendly service to impeccably prepared food and spectacular sea view – it’s hard not to fall in love with this place! Pictured in the main photo is their chicken thai curry served in a […]
Rooftop dining. Tranquil ambiance. Romantic, cozy atmosphere. Cafe Luna offers a charming setting (as I say to myself, “Awe, I should’ve captured that on camera!)”, located across the street from the sea. The air was cool and date night was in full swing; as we were seated and excitedly read the diverse collection of locally […]
Day Three: Gourmet Safari The next lucky stop: ‘Relish’, located in Limegrove. I was thrilled to experience their Gourmet Safari dinner menu specially designed for the Barbados Food & Rum Festival. Relish is a quirky, casual cafe – normally serving breakfast, lunch, coffee and drinks. Their theme for the evening: Rum Talk Food & Folklore […]
This was my first time attending the Barbados Food and Rum Festival, and I have to express a huge thank you to the Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. for having me. This is my foodie review on Days One & Two of the Festival. The opening: ‘Night Out In Oistins’. A fun family affair, with Bajan […]

I joined the Slow Food Challenge for the first time this year which was from September 2-9. This food challenge focuses on supporting the local community by purchasing locally sourced and produced foods. I incorporated locally bought foods from Cheapside Market in Bridgetown, along with herbs and vegetables from my home garden into some of […]
Cooking Breadfruit is as easy as 1,2,3! This ‘ground provision’ (we Bajans classify this as a vegetable staple food group) can be cooked in an array of styles. Contrary to the name, this is a savory food typically served as a side or main dish for a meal. Breadfruit can be served roasted, baked in […]
Fresh. Fluffy. Flaky. If your crust doesn’t fit within this description in my book, it isn’t even a crust worth looking at. The Tornado Patty With a unique name like “The Tornado Patty” I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try this since I had never heard of it!… as I write and look at […]
Roasting breadfruit is a traditional Caribbean method to prepare this juicy and nutritional ground provision. Almost found in anyone’s yard around Barbados, Breadfruit trees are one of nature’s healthiest natural starches. Rich in dietary fiber, it is considered to be a “cholesterol controller”. When these gems are fully ripened, their “meaty” flesh resembles a creamy […]
I honestly have to say that out of all the conkies in the whole of Buhbados… these conkies made by Petra are the moistest, most flavourful, and heavenly conkies I have ever tasted. Sold fresh and warm out of the oven, Ms. Petra sells these beautiful tributes to our culture every Sunday at New Dimensions […]
My go-to drink is, and forever will be Mauby. Refreshing. Tantalizing to my palette. A sweet taste of Barbados. It resonates nostalgia and happiness within me. Mauby can be made from either the tree bark or the syrup. Naturally, mauby is made from a type of Buckthorn tree called the Soldierwood or Mabi. The drink […]
The Mill restaurant is quite centrally located in Industrial Park, St.Thomas. It is pretty impossible to miss with a historical windmill planted right at the doorstep of this laid back, outdoor dining spot. I even caught some children playing inside, as they entertained themselves while awaiting for their lunch to be served. The atmosphere here […]
This is a vegetarian recipe adapted from my mother’s inventive breakfast sides. This is a curry flavoured base dish – great for breakfast or to add as a side. Ingredients 1 sweet potato 1 can of chickpeas 1 small onion 1-2 tbl sp olive oil 1/4 cup of water 1 1/2 tsp curry powder 1 […]
Now I love pancakes like it’s nobody’s business, and there is just something about bananas, which add a naturally rich and sweet flavour to almost every thing. I’ve searched high and low for a healthy version I can genuinely sit down and enjoy for breakfast. I’ve even tried the whole natural “pancake” recipe with 1 […]
Like many local restaurants in Barbados blessed with a comfortable and scenic atmosphere, Rolli’s is no exception. Being located in the heart of Pelican Village (a local center filled with culture, local arts and crafts, and small businesses), this laid back bar and restaurant serves up some pretty good food without “brekkin ya pocket”. This […]
Mo’s Grill is located in the popular town called Oistins on the South Coast. Oistins is especially known for its local fish market and the popular ‘Oistins Friday Night Fish Fry’ – where lots of food stalls are serving up fresh seafood, there is live music and lots of activity. At Mo’s Grill & Bajan […]
Coconut is classified as a one-seeded drupe but can also be classified as a fruit, a nut, and a seed, which adds such a fresh taste to so many recipes which I love! As you can tell by the name of this dessert, coconut is the main base ingredient in this traditional Barbadian pastry – […]
If you’re a Bajan reading this then you already know what Flying Fish is, and it’s historical meaning to our country Barbados. For my international visitors, flying fish are tiny fish which can make powerful, self-propelled leaps into the air, using their wing-like fins to glide considerable distances over the water’s surface. This uncommon ability […]
If you’re looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer, then fish cakes are the perfect combination of savory, crispy, fluffy, and light! These meatless little puffs of joy are filled with chunks of cod (salt fish) and monuments of fresh herbs. This Bajan treat is an island-wide favorite, which is commonly served at parties and events. Impress […]
