For a soul-satisfying family meal, cook up a pot of Callaloo Soup, a popular Caribbean dish with many variations. Celebrity Cruises Chef Recardo James, a native of Jamaica, offers his recipe that combines leafy green callaloo, the edible leaves of the amaranth plant, with onions, garlic, herbs, and jalapeños. Add diced sweet potatoes, white potatoes, red beans, chicken broth, and coconut milk, and let the dish simmer to meld the flavors.
Pair the soup with a simple and simply sensational dessert of pineapple and rum upside-down cake. Celebrity Cruises chef Juan Julia, who hails from the Philippines, shares his favorite recipe, which is classic right down to the maraschino cherries that fill the centers of the pineapple slices. The rum adds a flip of flavor and gives the cake an authentic Caribbean vibe.
Celebrity Cruises chef Phelisiano Drysdale’s Jamaican jerk chicken drumsticks recipe highlights the native spices that give Caribbean cuisine that special zing: nutmeg, black pepper, cinnamon, and ginger.
