Jamaican Recipes

Here is a growing list of authentic Jamaican recipes.  Jamaican food is simple, flavourful, inexpensive and very tasty.  Most ingredients can be found at Afro-Caribbean stores or online.  Meats such as goat and oxtail can be purchased frozen and many Halal meat shops carry them fresh.   Shop around as prices vary widely. 

Using techniques such as skimming fat and using brown basmati rice instead of the normal parboiled white rice can make these recipes very healthy eats. If you have recipes you would like to see contact us, and please let us know if you want to try any of these recipes or need help preparing them.

We have begun to organize our recipes and make them easier to understand.  If you want to try one of our recipes but have a question please contact us as we'll be happy to help you with Jamaican food and drink.
