Times have become so uncertain these days so we've: taken time to either reflect transform or make changes to our day-to-day lives (if you're lucky you've done all three). A part of my reflections have been going back to my roots. I'm first generation American in my family but I have the fondest of memories thinking about my experiences of visiting Jamaica as a child. One very vivid memory I have was staying with a grandaunt out in May Pen. When I say country.... I mean: chickens, cows, well-water, etc. C-O-U-N-T-R=Y! One fun thing I did learn in my stays there was how to make some of the traditional delicacies, but most of all the treats. Come on, I was a kid! I've always wanted to replicate some of these simply recipes but found myself never having or really making the time to do so, but now with this COVID-19 way of life I can't say I have all the time in the world but there is definitely leftover energy in the day to devote some attention to things I like or enjoy doing. With that said, I have such an affinity for coconut and ginger, two robust and flavorful ingredients that work so well with many things, but when working in tandem they pack such an amazing 1-2 punch! Please see my recipe for Traditional Grater Cake, which are basically shredded/grated coconut clusters.
