At least once a year I travel to some place in the Caribbean or West Indies. There’s nothing like island flavor and culture to really get you in tune with your mind, body, and soul. To top it off, the flavors from the Caribbean are downright amazing – so, instead of going, we’re bringing the island to us with my jerk cauliflower with rice and white peas!
