Sometimes, the quietest seasons hold the most powerful momentum.
I’ve been away from this space for a bit, taking time where it was needed most- tending to home, family, and the things that truly anchor us when life gets heavy.
But behind the scenes, the work hasn't stopped. The passion for our food, our flavours, my love for Antigua, the Caribbean, and the legacy passed down from my grandmother, Mama Lolly, has been burning as brightly as ever✨️
In that quiet time, I’ve been perfecting a brand-new Limited edition creation,
a rich, vibrant spiced Plantain pepper sauce!🌟
and today, I am so proud to share that it has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Great British Food Awards! 🌶️✨
To be recognized as a finalist for the second time for something born out of pure love, heritage, and hard work means more to me than words can say. It’s a reminder that even when life feels overwhelming, the craft holds firm.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this journey, sent love, or believed in what we bring to the table. Final results come out this autumn, but for now, we celebrate the journey.
