My grandma lived in Bahamas for over a decade and this delicious recipe is one of the things she brought back to Jamaica. I like to think of it as a cross between a cornless cornbread (ha) and a biscuit.

Jamaican Curry Chicken
Without fail, we have curry chicken once a week. It’s such an easy dinner to pull together – the curry powder does most of the work and imparts such rich flavor. You can pair this saucy dish with plain white rice. Roti or naan bread are also excellent options – anything really to soak up the delicious sauce.
Jamaican Fried Dumplings
Crunchy, golden crust perfection, especially fresh from the frying pot. Fried dumplings are quintessentially Jamaican. Much like its second cousin buttermilk biscuits, Jamaican fried dumplings practically go with anything (in my opinion). Pair with Ackee and Saltfish for delicious breakfast or simply pair with anything with a tasty sauce. Break up that dumpling and soak up all that goodness.
Easy Oven-Baked Jamaican Jerk Chicken
Jerk Chicken is the cornerstone of Jamaican cuisine. I often joke that it’s the one menu item on the Jamaican restaurant menu that they always have available. This particular recipe is my grandma’s specialty. The flavor is in your face and a bit spicy – you can adjust as needed if you don’t feel brave.
