Pen Patat is a traditional Haitian sweet potato pudding baked until set and fragrant with warm spices. This lush, custardy dessert blends coconut, evaporated, and condensed milks with banana, raisins, vanilla, rum, and lime zest for deep tropical flavor and a caramelized edge.

Daraba is a hearty Central African okra and peanut stew with beef and dried fish, simmered with tomatoes, onions, garlic, and spinach, then served over rice. Rich, silky, and mildly spicy, it balances savory depth with the trademark okra-thickened texture.

Creamy, island-inspired stone-ground grits simmered in coconut milk and finished with toasted coconut, macadamias, juicy pineapple, and bright lime zest. A tropical, dairy-free twist on a cozy breakfast bowl with a fragrant hint of vanilla and a touch of brown sugar.
