Pubisher: The best Caribbean recipes online!

About CaribbeanPot.com: CaribbeanPot.com came about in the spring of 2009 and the very fist recipe/post was made on March 24. A combination of things saw the birth of this recipe portal… 1. I hated the fact that our cuisine is not as documented (cookbooks, etc) as so many other cultures globally and that most people outside the Caribbean are deprived of the knowledge of hundreds of years of our cooking traditions. 2. I wanted Caron and our daughters to learn how to cook the food I grew up on and to be able to share that knowledge with their children (hopefully I get to be relieved of being the designated cook in the house). But since I learned with the “dash or this and a little of that” method (no real measurements) I knew I had to not only document things for them specifically, but to provide pictures to aid in the cooking process 3. With over 15 years of online working experience and my love for cooking . . . this was about to be my new hobby 4. With all that I’ve learned from my mom and dad in the kitchen, as well as my grandmothers (Julia 99 yrs old and Christina who died at the young age of 104) and my aunt Victoria who I lived with when I first moved to Canada . . . I knew I just had to pass that knowledge on. Special mention to uncle B whose mastery of the “bush cook” was passed on to me as well. The Scope of CaribbeanPot.com: The work I do on CaribbeanPot.com is enjoyed globally and when I look at my traffic stats I can boast that there isn’t a country on this planet, that someone has not come onto this website from. With over 500,000 monthly visitors, one of the largest (probably the largest) Facebook Fan pages (over 45,000 fans) dedicated to the cuisine of the Caribbean and with over ten million (10,700,000) video views on the YouTube cooking channel…. my dream of taking our cuisine globally is becoming a reality. (stats quoted are reflective of today’s date Apr 10, 2014). My recipes and I have been featured on a number of local and international newspapers and websites around the world.
