Celebrating Jamaican Food and Family
By

Jamaican food: I was recently in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica for a family reunion and 80th birthday celebration for our favourite cousin. Of course, there was lots of food, food … and more food!
I should have known you were from St. Elizabeth When I adopted you as my virtual grandmother. My patents were both from St. Elizabeth. Yeah!
Alison, St. Elizabeth has adopted me. Though my husband and I grew up together in Kingston, it is his family (Heron) that hails from St. Elizabeth and everything I know about I know because of them. And I love it there! Blessings, Fay
Hi, welcome back! Hope you all had a great time. Looking forward to getting more delicious recipes.
Hi Fay
It was nice watching your video of you back home, brought back good memories of when I was there visiting my grandparents.
I would also like to thank you for the recipes as everyone of them I have tried has brought bck fond memories of my grandmas cooking. The jerk chicken & banana porridge are a definately a favorite with the family & I’m sure the list will grow. I’ll keep on trying more recipes & do my best to keep the tradition on jamaican food going.
Give thanks, & blessings, Nicholas
You are in my parish Sis Fay. I grew up in Elderslie, St. Elizabeth
I’m so jealous! I miss Jamaica so much and can’t wait to go next year to Mandeville for a family renunion. The soup made me hungry. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed your trip.
What a small world! My father was from St. Elizabeth (Ballards Valley) I will be back in March for a visit.
Welcome back. I went to School at Hampton College and miss Jamaica, especially the food

I went to Jamaica for the very first time this past Christmas. We were in St. Elizabeth, Black RIver. I LOVED it so much! I dream of the day I can go back…..best two weeks of my life! I’d love to live there, everyone was so wonderful.
Thank you for creating this website. I’ve learned so much. My *fussy* Jamaican man is really impressed by what I’ve learned from you, Fay. Thanks so much. Bless.
Hi Phillip,
St Elizabeth a beautiful place with beautiful people. I am happy to help. All the best to your mum.
Blessings, Fay
