Carrot Broccoli Soup
Smooth and healthy, this creamy soup is packed with fresh vegetables, and infused with garlic, thyme, onions, and Shem’s special mix of herbs.
Chicken Pelau
Bajan pelau (or pilau) is but one manifestation of this family savoury one-pot meals that combine rice, vegetables, meat and spices. Every island — maybe even every family — has their own take, this Barbadian one featuring red kidney beans, peppers, okra and chicken.

Saltfish & Rice Cookup
One of many quick and simple “cookups” that define classic Caribbean home cooking — savoury saltfish mixed with rice, okra, peppers, thyme, garlic & herbs.
Both dishes come with a Cucumber, Onion, and Tomato Salad
A simple, cool fresh salad with some freshly squeezed lime juice and freshly chopped parsley is the prefect accompaniment.
Coconut Bread
A sweet bread with grated coconut, little bits of dried fruit and hint of nutmeg; a popular dessert for anytime snack.
