I just picked up a copy of Bon Appetit and am excited about the Carribean theme!

I'm loving it so far although not much time to read in detail!

May I ask where you are in the Caribbean? And also, thanks for showing me the correct spelling!

Great recipes!

The Caribbean Limeade on page 121 is wonderful! Bananas...who would have thought?

I also made the Aqua Pearl drink on page 85 which was the georgous color of the Caribbean water.

Then for dinner we had the Roasted Spiced Chicken with Cinnamon and Honey-Glazed Sweet Potatoes on page 114. It calls for half a Scotch bonnet chilie or habanero. Next time I will use the whole chile or add the seeds...it just was not hot enough for me.

Tonight I'm thinking of making the Grouper with Ginger and Passion Fruit Sauce on page 40 (if this nasty head cold gets better).

 
Michael, Michael....Please don't.....

use a "real" Scotch Bonnet in large quantities, try the pepper you buy first .....I say "real" as there are some "seasoning peppers" that are sold as "S.B."
These are deff. gentler than the real thing. I know some one who had been using the "sp" and got a "S.B." and it took the skin off the roof of her mouth.
They look the same, these peppers, but here in the Caribbean those who know can tell the diff.
Not me, I simply don't see the diff. nor does the end result make much diff to me...it's all darn hot!
