Caribbean
Caribbean cuisine is a fusion of Spanish cuisine, French cuisine, and African
cuisine. These traditions were brought from the many homelands of this region's
population. In addition, the population has created from this vast wealth of
tradition many styles that are unique to the region.
Like other popular regional cuisines, Caribbean cooking is not only flavorful
but flexible, too. Island cooking relies on basic ingredients cooked in simple
ways. After all, it originated, as most cuisines we enjoy today did, with
mothers and grandmothers in the family kitchen making use of whatever they had
on hand. Its flexibility makes Caribbean cooking ideal for restaurants of all
types. So, if you're looking to spice up your menu with new flavors and unusual
ingredients, a few Caribbean dishes might be just the thing. |
