From jerked pimento crusted beef tenderloin and banana fritters dusted with sugar and coconut rum creme, to penne pasta with ackee in coconut cream sauce, it was a mouth-watering food expedition at the launch of the Rousseau sisters' recipe book - Caribbean Potluck.
The two sisters from Two sisters and a Meal, Suzanne and Michelle Rousseau, had a wide range of delicious dishes on display from their first recipe book. The intoxicating aroma had guests salivating upon entry to CPJ Market. With sangria and lemonade whetting appetites in their wake, palates eagerly anticipated savoury indulgence.
Appetisers
Top chef attendants served bite-size delicacies that seemed to disappear as quickly as they appeared, as everyone enjoyed the flavours in each bite. Appetisers such as twice-fried green plantain with avocado, manchego and salsa verde, and a mouthful of creamy roasted garlic tomato and Scotch bonnet soup were provided for guests.
The night was not short on tasty treats; char-grilled rack of lamb with eggplant caponata, three-olive salsa, citrus-roasted salmon fillet with ginger aioli and rigatoni alla vodka with jerked sausage spicy tomato, to coconut vodka sauce were on the menu.
It was a delicious evening that will continue into a delectable journey for those who purchased copies of the book.
