About the Author
A Legacy of Flavor
Growing up in a humble one-bedroom house with a dirt floor on the beautiful island of Jamaica, the author shared this cozy space with her mother and three sisters. Despite their modest surroundings, life was rich with the aromas and flavors of authentic Jamaican cuisine. The author’s mother, who ran a small cook shop, cooked and sold meals to school children, teachers, taxi drivers, and anyone else drawn by the delicious scents wafting through the air.
From a young age, the author and her sisters were their mother’s sous-chefs, spending countless hours in the kitchen prepping ingredients late into the night and cooking early in the morning. It was in this bustling environment that the author’s love for cooking took root.
