Caribbean food has developed over many centuries - incorporating cuisine's and cultural influences which can be identified as you hop from island to island. Each island has its specialties and varied interpretations of similar dishes, but all the region shares a love of delicious spicy food made from wholesome ingredients.

Often cooked outdoors, meat, fish, poultry and vegetables are served in good-sized portions with a variety of food such as breadfruit, green bananas, yams, sweet potato or cassava cakes. Dumplings, boiled or fried and hard dough bread are as common as rice and potatoes and are staples along with cornmeal and roti. No meal is complete without green such as callaloo or other vegetables such as pumpkin or chocho.
