Caribbean Culinary Tapestry
The Caribbean region is a vibrant canvas of cultures, each contributing to an intricate culinary mosaic. This area, with its enchanting islands and natural beauty, is where culinary traditions intertwine to create a unique and flavorful cuisine. The essence of Caribbean cooking lies in its ability to tell a story — a story of journeys, exchanges, and resilience.
Spices like allspice, nutmeg, and cloves, brought over by historical trade winds, meet native ingredients like cassava and plantains. The result is a cuisine as diverse as its people, characterized by its bold flavors, hearty stews, and vibrant marinades. Dishes like jerk chicken, curry goat, and ackee and saltfish not only tantalize the taste buds but also reflect the region’s rich history.
Yes…
Narda is at it again and you are invited!
Narda’s love for cooking and entertaining was sparked at an early age by her parents who demonstrated hospitality to strangers, family and friends. There was almost always someone popping in unexpectedly for dinner, to which her parents would always happily accommodate.
Her late father was the quintessential host always entertaining guests, spinning vinyls, engaging in lively debates and joke-telling. Her mom was quite skillful in whipping up dainty desserts, strong drinks, roasted homegrown livestock, and succulent stews. Narda, and her siblings were often the ones to replenish the ice bucket. This task allowed Narda to revel in the excitement and be swooned by the joie de vivre that filled the air.
Narda continued this legacy of hospitality by opening her former full restaurant, Narda’s Restaurant at the age of 23 years old. She also launched Narda's Ginger Punch, a beverage distribution entity in 2011.
So yes, she’s at it again and filled with a greater resolve to unite people under the canopy of good food — where everyone can catch a whiff of Caribbean aromas and buoyed by peace.
Oh, and Yah Mon, the "Ginger Punch" is fresh off the tap and available in a variety of delicious flavors.
