FAQ About The Influence of Caribbean Cuisine on Global Gastronomy
How do Caribbean cooking techniques differ from those of other regions?
Caribbean cooking techniques are distinctive for their use of vibrant spices and the practice of marinating meats thoroughly before cooking, known as 'jerking.' This method involves wrapping the food in leaves or cooking it slowly over an open flame or on wood, allowing the spices to penetrate deeply. Additionally, Caribbean cooking often features braising and stewing methods that yield rich and complex flavors, setting it apart from some other regional cuisines that may favor more subtle flavor profiles.
