The original owners understood that people wanted Caribbean food but there was nowhere to get it. They opened Caribbean Food in 1983 as the first Caribbean dining establishment in Houston. I come from a household of restaurant owners my father is a restaurateur in Jamaica and his passion inspired me to own a restaurant.
I come from a Jamaican background so I'm enthusiastic about Jamaican food. Before I took ownership of the restaurant I cooked at home and for others. I just enjoy the taste of Jamaican food; I can't get enough of the robust tastes. Our finest seller is oxtail followed by jerk chicken.
First we season the oxtail and let it marinate, then we brown it and braise it with vegetables till tender. We take severe measures to make certain the flavoring is right. The oxtail is experienced with thyme, allspice, and onions. The top spice is allspice, which is native to Jamaica and made with pimento berry.
Spice is a choice. The primary pepper in Caribbean cooking is the scotch bonnet pepper and some individuals overuse it, which is where the additional spice originates from. Caribbean cuisine is not as much about spiciness as it has to do with flavor. Spiciness is a reason to not put in the time to mix the spices properly to get the flavor Caribbean food is known for.
There are shortcuts with oxtail, however I don't take them. I do not understand of any other Caribbean dining establishments that brown the oxtail. Most dining establishments only make stews but I prepare the oxtail traditionally. We likewise have a bakery where we make our pastries. Other restaurants purchase their pastries frozen but they make whatever else from scratch.
We desire to tighten our structure before believing about broadening. We're doing remodellings in the dining establishment and have some brand-new menu items prepared. It's just me and one other chef working in the cooking area due to the fact that we wish to concentrate on consistency.

Self-liberation and cultural retention were synonymous with the development of Maroon societiesknown as quilombos in Brazil, palenques in Colombia and Cuba, and cumbes in Venezuelacreated by Africans who escaped into forests, hills, and bush areas of the Caribbean and South America. As soon as separated, they formed their own communities, where lots of African culinary and other cultural patterns might be protected.
The continual influx and consistent increase of Africans into the Caribbean and South America constantly renewed African cultures, a persistent African cultural input, and a cooking revolution under the impact of Africans that would penetrate every aspect of cooking and food in rural and city locations of every nation in the Americas.
