Chef Winslow Taylor invites you on a culinary voyage through many classics of Jamaican cuisine. Come explore the island’s unique flavours though spices and fresh ingredients, and showcasing his popular line of award-winning Brawta Caribbean sauces.

Braised Oxtail Stew
Stewed oxtail, slow-cooked in a rum-infused braise with garlic, onions, scotch bonnet peppers and Jamaican allspice for a luscious and deeply-flavoured gravy. Served with an island-style coleslaw of shredded cabbage, carrots with a sweet vinaigrette dressing.
