We’ve been working hard the last three months to bring you a new My Irie Time Shop. With the re-opening of the shop, we have a number of new items to offer which we’re really excited about. (1) DIGITAL PAINTINGS The world of digital photography offers many avenues to explore our creativity. Through a variety of techniques, we are able to manipulate our photographs to give the appearance of oil paintings, watercolors, pastels, or simply to render a more abstract impression of what we see through the lens. With this new technology at hand, we are now able to offer some of our favorite images from the Caribbean with a…

Taste of the Caribbean isn’t limited to traditional foods from the islands. We have encountered many other foods there which are worth a stop on your travels. One of those places is Picante, a Mexican restaurant on the island of Anguilla. The churros pictured above were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect with the accompanying caramel sauce. Picante is a regular stop for us on Anguilla, and it’s not just for the margaritas! For more on our visits to Picante, read our trip report here!

Taste of Caribbean today presents an island classic, the johnnycake. We’ve tasted johnnycakes throughout the islands, and each chef has a slightly different take on this Caribbean staple. The johnnycake pictured above was our favorite, found at Rodney’s Cuisine on Nevis. They were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. For more on Rodney Elliott and our visit to Rodney’s Cuisine, read our trip report here! If you want to learn more about this amazing island, read our seven-part trip report on Nevis!

Taste of the Caribbean is back on the Nevis. We are walking from the Four Seasons, past Sunshine’s, and a little farther down Pinney’s Beach, we come upon Double Deuce. Double Deuce is known for its amazing DD burger, but there are many other delicious offerings on the chalkboard menu, including this grilled wahoo. Take a look at the menu on our trip report on the beach bars of Pinney’s Beach!

On Taste of the Caribbean today, we have one of our favorite beach eats, conch fritters. A batter is made into which conch, peppers, onions, and seasonings are mixed, and then spoonfuls of the batter are dropped into the deep fryer. Served with a dipping sauce, it’s the perfect partner to a cold Turks Head or other island brew. These beauties were found at Da Conch Shack, Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands, where you can see the conch pulled from the ocean right before your eyes. For photos and details of our visits to Da Conch Shack, read our trip report!

Taste of the Caribbean is in the mood for a festival today, so we take you to the Turks & Caicos Conch Festival, held each November in the Blue Hills area of Providenciales. There are a variety of events at the festival, but the best is the “Conch-etition,” where area chefs compete for the best of the fest in conch dishes, including conch chowder and conch salad. Above is the entry of Amanyara, which took second place in conch salad in the 2008 contest. Visit the festival, sample the dishes, and vote for your favorite! This year’s Turks & Caicos Conch Festival will take place on November 30, 2013. For…
