As the nights draw in, we’re spending more time at home, and “Jamaican food is all about spending time with family”, says Craig. “There’s a history to that – what makes the cuisine so special is how the dishes originated. Basically, the foods that were discarded [by slave owners ] and given to our forefathers during slavery were forged to make delicious dishes, showing that even through real hardships, beautiful food was still created. Time to eat was often the only time they could create moments with family... because it was the only time they’d get rest from work. Even today, family and food go hand in hand – for example, every year we have a barbecue for my grandmother’s birthday. Rice and Peas is a common dish in Jamaica, often served for either lunch or dinner. It’s also referred to as the Coat of Arms, and it can be made with either beans or peas.
