Jamaican Eats: Issue 1, 2023 - Paperback

by Grace Lovina Cameron (Author)

In this issue we remember Lascelles Chin of LASCO, a giant in the Jamaican food industry. "We are all the beneficiaries of his visionary leadership...he made me see what is possible when one dreams and follows through with consistent effort," writes an admirer.
AND: She left Jamaica 62 years ago and has lived around the world, but memories of one Bruce's patty, still has her taste buds tingling. Read all about it in our Patty Spread AND read the WINNING Odes to Patty submitted by readers.
PLUS: Meet Matthew Samuels, the MasterChef UK contestant who left the judges sputtering in awe of his Ackee and Saltfish.
And then there is Cass, from Portland, whose roadside jerk drum pan is causing ruckus in the small town of Cambridge (a few hours from Toronto). He's fighting back though, because he's "connected with the Most High" and, besides, he's saving up to pay for street lights and a drum set for his uncle's church just outside Port Antonio.
ALSO: Nuff Niceness. Summer eats and treats from Condensed Milk Bread; to Trinidad Sweet Bread; Baked Ripe Plantain stuffed with cheese; and Lasco Mackerel Lasagna.
