A few weeks ago I received a beautiful hamper from Grace Foods to help us celebrate Caribbean Food Week.

This took us back to our honeymoon in the Virgin Islands, a magical week of soaking up the sun and diving into the crystal clear waters of Virgin Gorda.

Complete with two straw hats and an inflatable palm tree (!!), the hamper included a mix of Grace and Dunn’s River goodies.

Ackee (a mild tasting fruit that pairs well in savoury dishes) and callaloo (similar to spinach) are both traditional and popular Caribbean foods.

I decided to make a Jamaican Tofu Scramble, that can be enjoyed for breakfast or brunch. What a perfect way to start this bank holiday week end!
