Jamaican Eats: Issue 2, 2021

Charcuterie Boards are a thing, and we are jumping on this band wagon with Jamaican-inspired party platters piled with everything from curry ackee to pickled breadfruit, Jamaican pepper shrimp and Jerk-Spiced Goat Cheese! The crowd-pleasing Caribbean spread will have family, friends and colleagues talking during the holiday season and beyond.
AND, Jamaican women were on fire at the Tokyo Olympics this past summer. We're celebrating the amazing sprint trio of Elaine Thompson Herah, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson, as well as all the athletes who represented the island. Check out our spread on the Jamaican parish of Trelawny whose athletes (alone) have won more Olympic medals than some countries.
PLUS, check the stories of Chef Darian Bryan, small town Jamaican boy who has earned the name #fancyjerk in his new home of Buffalo, New York, and Andrea Whyte who turns breadfruit into dreamy, sweet breadfruit creamer. (For real!!!)
You'll also dig the sweet news on condensed milk and discover new ways to enjoy scallion...it goes way beyond seasoning meat and the rice and peas pot.
And there's more to enjoy.
