I have been a Caribbean specialist for 23 years and am proud to unveil three lovely properties that I will be offering in Anguilla. I personally toured each and feel all three best represent the essence of Anguilla.

I am jumping up and down as I write, it’s confirmed, I head back to Anguilla Aug. 1-8. I got a super deal on Dutch Antilles Express and am house sitting for a local and using his car. Whoopiee..All At Sea has agreed to publish a story for the Regatta and one of the sailing committee persons has agreed to take me and Lisanne Van Garrett on the boats so we may cover the event. Lisanne is an incredible photographer.
My plans are Aug. 1 Smokey’s for lunch then dinner with Mandy and her hubby, some Trip Advisor buddies. We will try Straw Hat. Later we head to Dune to hear Bankie Bank’s show.
Watch for dining reviews, sailing event news and more.
Cheers from windy Bonaire

I love Caribbean cooking, The blends of the aromatic spices, fresh herbs and unique produce make dining in the islands unforgettable. My mother in law’s Pepperpot is still a favorite. I often crave Roti at random days in the year. I try and cook some Caribbean inspired recipes. My favorite is Caribbean Black Cake made at Christmas. Remind me to post that recipe. For now here is an easy recipe. I would love to have a copy of one of your favorites.
