Barbados

Take a collision of the Atlantic crustal and Caribbean plates, throw in a volcanic eruption and what do you have? Barbados. Unique by geological standards, Barbados was formed when the two land masses joined together and eventually built up a coral formation that stretched to 300 feet. The cuisine of Barbados offers fresh, regional island ingredients, most notably its seafood. Snapper, mahi mahi and many types of shellfish are featured in local dishes. Flying fish sandwiches known as “cutters” are a local favorite, as is pepper pot, a stew made with oxtail and beef. And be sure to sample the “fruits” of the island: sweet potatoes, plantains, breadfruit, yams, pears, soursops, pawpaws, bananas, figs and coconuts are all specialties of Barbados.

Buttermilk Pancakes II

Reviewed on Nov. 2, 2009 by BAJANCHEF 
Ok so I had never made pancakes before from scratch figuring the boxed mixes were quite fine. But then I had some buttermilk left over from another recipe,had some time to spare on a rainy Saturday morning and I decided to try my hand at these. Well, I will never use a mix again! These were delicious. It's just me so I cut the servings down to 4 (one third of the ingredients). Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. I did let the butter cool completely before adding to the other wet ingredients and I let the wet ingredients sit for about an hour prior to mixing.(as suggested by other reviewers) I was also very careful not to over mix. The pancakes were sooo light and incredibly fluffy.Delectable even without syrup. Easily the best pancakes I have ever had! The recipe does yield a lot though because even after I thirded it, I used a 1/2 cup measuring cup and still ended up with 5 large pancakes. Watch the heat too if you are using an electric stove..medium heat was too high and scorched my first one..

Lemon Pepper Pasta

This dish was so simple and surprisingly good! I added some Parmesan cheese at the very end and it was delish.

Chicken Piccata II

Reviewed on Oct. 5, 2009 by BAJANCHEF 
Ok so I followed other reviewers' recommendations for this one. I did marinate the chicken over night in dried seasoning,garlic powder and the juice of one large lemon. I then pounded the chicken breasts.To fry, I dipped in the flour mixture(to which I also added basil),then in the egg one then back to the flour one. This worked out well until the end when the breading started to fall off when I was transferring to a dish. So I made the decision to then make the sauce and not bother to put the chicken actually in it.So while the chicken went into the oven at 240 to keep warm,I used a can of chicken broth and the juice of one whole lemon. The sauce was still bland and VERY lemony so I added black pepper,minced garlic and some dried Italian seasoning, let it boil down. I did add some corn starch to thicken the sauce then just poured the sauce over the warm chicken. I liked the flavour of the chicken a LOT. The sauce was just so-so. This one definitely won't go into regular rotation though.
