Hello Angela, nice to see you here. I like this site a lot, lots of professionals (I'm not one) who like to learn from others and help others. It's a really nice hangout. It's fun. I for one am interested in your Barbados cooking expertise.

Welcome!

What is your menu like, or if more than one, what are they like? What is especially good in Barbados? What type of cooking and what type of seasonings?

Welcome to Chef Talk, Angela! We're very happy to have another Caribbean chef/owner here to add spice to the mix.

Andy's question about menu was on my mind too. Please share yours with us. I'm particularly interested in the local ingredients you use and the traditional or special dishes you offer your clientele.

We hope to see you here often!
Regards,
Mezzaluna
