About Cariblend – Cariblend

A new kind of recipe website

Welcome to Cariblend! Cariblend is an entirely new kind of recipe website which will be touring the world, fusing the fabulous flavours of the Caribbean into some showcase recipes from each country we visit. In addition to countries you will know well, we will be visiting places you may scarcely have heard of, let alone sampled their cuisine.

Each month, we will visit a new country and I will publish eight Carib-fused recipes for that country. These recipes will be unique: you will not find anything quite like them anywhere else.

We will take with us on our journey my reinterpretation of Jerk Spice – a blend which features less chili heat but even more aroma than the original. Because you can use this month after month, it makes sense to mix several months’ supply and let it fill your kitchen with its amazing smell. It takes just minutes to make, and will reward you ten times over for this tiny amount of effort. Every time you open the jar, it will transport you to the spice islands of the Caribbean!

New versions of Caribbean spice blends and seasoning sauces

Because that fiery favourite of the Caribbean – the Scotch Bonnet chili pepper – can be quite overpowering in a spice mix, and because some people find it hard to cope with a lot of chili, I’ve toned down the Scotch Bonnet in my spice mixes and even given you the option to replace it with its less potent relative, Cayenne chili pepper. But I’ve compensated by adding more flavour and aroma with more of other Jerk Spice ingredients such as allspice, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and paprika. Even if you like a lot of chili in your food, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how the other fabulous flavours in Jerk Spice sing out, when you lower the heavy drumbeat of chili. And if, even after you’ve tried my new version, you still crave more of that unique Scotch Bonnet flavour, you can always add more!
