Since our return I've taken to cooking household Caribbean food. Things like peas and dumplings, dasheen, yams, fish in browning with carrots and onion, and some rice with saffron. It's not far off what I was getting in St Lucia but sourcing dasheen is difficult and expensive, so most of the time I substitute it with cassava.
I've yet to get the portioning right as I'd some left over after feeding the 5000.
