From fish cakes, to pig tails, to macaroni pie, these Bajan dishes are tempting tourists who are looking to get a taste of the local flavours of Barbados.

Last October, I enjoyed a multi-day food tour of Barbados, celebrating the “culinary capital of the Caribbean” with a visit to the Barbados Food & Rum Festival, and some tours of the best local hidden gems found all around the island.

Bajans – the people of Barbados, love their Caribbean comfort foods, and after a scrumptious tasting tour of the best local food spots around town, I shared my thoughts on the five absolute must-try dishes that I discovered along the way with the readers of BC Living.

I shared my tasting tours of these spots with the readers of the Vancouver Sun newspaper. For the full story, click on the link below.

If you’re still feeling hungry for more, I also wrote a story on how to dine in Barbados two ways – hands-on (at a farm and nature reserve found inland), or high end (at a stunning dining spot found by the sea) – for the readers of BOLD magazine.
