Grenada - Caribbean Cooking Lesson

Today I was back in Grenada. The Spice Island. If you love to cook, you will love it here. On Saturday’s they have a huge outdoor market, where you can buy spices. Grenada is known for its Nutmeg. And you can get it in many different forms; Nutmeg syrup, Nutmeg Jam, Nutmeg Jelly... just to mention a few. You can also get Turmeric, Cinnamon, Mace, ... anything you need for cooking.

Speaking of cooking, today I was part of a Caribbean cooking class. First they demonstrated how to make the nutmeg cheesecake. Then we made a Gingered Pumpkin Soup.
