Twenty teams of the country’s best BBQ cooks will be competing this Sunday at the All Jamaica Invitational Grill Off in Kingston.

Like Jamaicans and Cubans, Brazilians know the best way to feed is pork. Feijoada - pork stewed with beef jerky and black beans - is the national dish of Brazil and great to serve when you have a lot of guests.

Smoked marlin, ricotta spring rolls, jerk rosemary tenderloin with bearnaise sauce and a 50th birthday party on the idyllic south coast near Alligator Pond, St Elizabeth.
It’s not every day one lives to half a century, but if you do, make sure the food makes you glad that you made the journey.

A spicy new fusion of Jamaican/Asian cuisine, this recipe is intended for large gatherings and intimate dinner parties when typical Jerk fare is simply not enough.
