English

Subject field(s)
  • Culinary Techniques
DEF

A colourful mix of spicy, fun foods, often drenched -- literally -- in island flavors.

OBS

Meats are flavored with marinades and fry rubs and smoked in a closed pit environment to deliver jerked food delight. Hot pepper sauces, fruit-based sauces, and chiles soak foods in flavor. Soups and stews -- pepperpot, quimbomba, sopito, conch chowder, bebele and more -- are abundant and diverse favorites on island menus. The typical recipe revolves around meats and seafood mixed with spices, peppers, vegetables and potatoes or other tubers.

CONT

C'est à la Guadeloupe et à la Martinique que l'on trouve la meilleure cuisine des Caraïbes. Bien préparés, les plats créoles mêlent toutes les influences des îles, française, indienne, africaine, à des ingrédients d'une fraîcheur exceptionnelle. Les poissons et les crustacés se distinguent en toute logique.
