Some of the world’s most delicious dishes are found in Caribbean cuisine, a fusion of cultures resulting in a style unique to the region.

Prior to the Spaniards arrival in the late fourteenth century, the native tribes ate a variety of dishes based mainly on papaya, coconuts, yams or sweet potatoes, cassava and other ingredients.

Caribbean cuisine finally took on its personal and distinct style with the arrival of slaves from Africa. Many combinations of meat and spices, bananas and corn were incorporated as the hallmarks of what would become the Caribbean diet.

Immigrants who moved to the region over the years had their particular influence on this rich cuisine.

Today, some of the best Caribbean recipes reflect the influence of even Chinese and Indian cuisine. Virtually all of these dishes are served with a side of rice, beans or a combination of the two.

Seafood and fish are traditional Caribbean staples and are eaten at any time of day. These fresh, raw ingredients are fished from the sea and prepared with an entire range of fruit as only the Caribbean know how to do.

Desserts are usually very sweet: sugar cane and cocoa are always on hand to be used in flans, cakes, cookies and puddings. It’s no surprise that these desserts usually incorporate fruit, spices and rum.
