In the part of the USA where I visit it is hard to find fresh coconut. I tried the canned coconut milk but it tastes like it have chemicals.

I have seen this organic coconut milk in Walmart and I wonder if anybody use it for rice and peas yet...

Where I used to live, this Jamaican restaurant I loved closed down and I can't stop thinking about what they called "mango rundown." This is a photo of the dish from the restaurant itself - is it truly a mango rundown? It was creamy and sweet and it's been 15 years since I've had it - I'm still dreaming about it! Would anyone be willing to share a recipe?

Hosting dinner for 7 adults this Sunday and needing a beef dish. All are Jamaican including myself but I don’t eat beef so I’m inexperienced in making a roast. Anyone have a recipe for authentic Jamaican Roast Beef they can share? Needs to be cooked all in the oven, traditional Jamaican seasonings, preferably stuffed with mixture of onion, garlic, scallion, thyme, etc. And I’ll need to know exactly what type of beef and lbs needed for 7 adults, with exact measurements for ingredients and step by step instructions for this novice beef cook. Please an tanks! 🙏🏼

If done it b4 and I'll do it again...

I grew up with people from the Caribbean and love the cuisine. Tonight I made jerk tofu, brown stew chicken, rice and peas, callaloo, and fried plantain. Even my picky eater devoured the chicken! It was a lot of work but so worth it. No pics, too busy and hungry lol.

Hi all,

I am attending a gathering where each guest has to bring an Ital dish. Are there any suggestions of dishes and desserts that I could make and bring?

Much thanks!

I used to visit the Jamaican restaurants frequently before the lockdown and was able to enjoy any amount of good food, especially Festival Bread. All the restaurants were/are in Los Angeles or Gardena.

Does anyone have a good recipe it?

Tofu seasoned with Jamaica jerk seasoning paste.

Where can I get jamaican land crabs to buy in Canada

A great place by me closed. They had the best oxtail dish. They included these small doughy dumplings that they cooked in with the oxtail. Anyone know what they’re called?

I have so much sorrel this year so I’m pumping out gallons of sorrel like it’s my job 😂😂. What “special” ingredient do you add to your sorrel?

I got some beef patties from a local Jamaican restaurant. I've had them from frozen at the grocery store countless times and wanted to try the most authentic version I could find. I was greeted by a Jamaican woman at the counter who reached into a hot case and put one in a brown bag for me. It was indistinguishable from the frozen ones. I suspect it may have even been the Golden Krust brand I'm familiar with. Is there a way to tell?

I made rice and peas for the first time last night 🤤 but with just the two of us.. there’s a lot left over. what do you make with leftovers? Is there a type of Jamaican fried rice?
