I am originally from The Bahamas cooking is a big part of family get togethers and a hobby of mine. I am only 23 years of age, but I grew up in a family where my mother cooked constantly. I have a great time cooking, but enjoying eating even more :-) I like cooking seafood, I think seafood holds the natural salt and tangy flavor that I am used to in my country. Pan seared, fried, baked, I love shrimps and scallops and fish...anything out of the ocean I love to eat. My family is a traditional Bahamian family that cooks a lot of seafood, including the conch which is a popular food in The Bahamas. Everything is a bit more spicy that regular food, and we tend to cook meals with peas and rice, a vegetable, and a meat. I am very good at chicken curry and souse. Two foods native to The Bahamas. I tried a shrimp curry - and it dried out! I was preparing it for a party and left it heating for entirely too long :-( Needless to say - a BIG tragedy...chewy shrimp is not tasteful.
