about me

I am from the U.S. Virgin Islands but currently live and work in Atlanta, Georgia. I work for a major airline in customer service.
I love cooking for my friends and family and fantasize about being TV Food Show Host. My favorite food is understandbly Caribbean and have a fondness for Asian fare. My Parents were from the Cape Verde Islands which are a group of islands off the west coast of Africa. They were once a colony of Portugal so I have both in my gene bank. I am a professional jazz vocalist but love all types of music. I love to entertain and am famous for my West Indian dishes. My husband had a kidney transplant a few years ago and as a result of the many medications he has to take has diabetes so I have learned to adjust my recipes to ones that keep him healthy and happy. My friends call me the "Jazzy singing kitchen diva."

Favorite Foods:

My favorite dish to cook is Oxtails.. or anything that I can combine with jasmine rice.. I have become fond of Mexican food since I have been living in Atlanta. I also have a liking to Asian fare. My favorite restaurant is a little Island spot called "The Lime Inn" in Cruz Bay, St. John. Virgin Islands. The food there is exceptional. I am famous for making a dish called "Cachupa" which is a stew from the Cape Verde Islands. It's a dish that is made in a large quanity and not made often but you have to share and freeze the rest.. OMG it is so good. I brings me back to my youth and roots.. I will post the recipe one of these days..
