My earliest memories of cou cou were my mother cooking it once in a while when I was growing up in the States. 🇺🇸

Have to admit the okra-based dish used to make my tastebuds bristle, but since moving to Barbados it’s grown on me and now the green banana and breadfruit varieties are my faves.

A part of four national dishes, this simple and cheap dish has been around way before the idea of independence was on the menu. The gooey cornmeal dish is likely to stick around for a while. 🍽️

A coucou stick is not only a useful cooking utensil, but also a "rod of correction" that many Bajan children have encountered 😅

Bear Grylls (Man vs Wild T.V show) insists that everyone should watch the sunrise once a year and I agree.

Light informs the way we see things.
A bright day is hot, a dark sky looks cold.

We follow rays of light like white lines on a highway, leading our eyes to where the beam falls.

This is probably one of the reasons why a sunset is universally recognised as beautiful, and why dusk and dawn have locals cruising around the coastline from east to west like hands on a clock.

Double tap if you’re a sunset lover 😍

🌴🍴 Ready to explore the unique food history of Barbados?

Let's start with a popular breakfast delight - Bakes! 🌟

Fun Fact: These fluffy treats are said to have originated from the island's Scottish settlers in the 17th century, who brought over their recipe for bannocks (a flatbread with a scone-like texture).

Today, Bajan bakes come in many flavours and are enjoyed primarily for breakfast or as a dessert. You can find bakes at spots like near the Garrison. Stop by to enjoy breakfast off the beaten path!🚶🏽‍♀️

🌴🥥 Coconut water is a delicious and healthy staple in Barbados. You can find coconut vendors selling it across the island at major highway roundabouts and intersections.

🌊🏖️ From hydration to digestion, this fresh and satisfying treat has countless benefits you shouldn't miss out on!

💡🍞 A Barbados cutter is a traditional sandwich on a roll using Bajan salt bread. The most popular choices for the filling are a choice of either ham, fish cheese or liver.

B.A.R Cutters is a rum shop in Bridgetown and also a food truck at Savvy on the Bay near Browne's Beach. They have delicious, award-winning cutters and are best known for their lamb and fresh tuna cutters (which I've tried myself - fantastic!).

You can't lose with this classic tasty treat, get down to B.A.R Cutters! ❤️

🍺🍗 Discover the classic rum shop experience at MRM Bar & Bites!

👀 Located in Southern District, St. George, this is a go-to spot for foodies seeking authentic local Bajan food - popular items include s***e on Saturdays (for the newbies - s***e is a traditional dish featuring pickled pig parts 😄), pork bites, bbq chicken, breadfruit chips, macaroni pie, fried fish and much more!

🤤 With a cozy, friendly atmosphere and great service, you're in for a treat.

Hi everyone! 👋🏾 I’m Danita, the owner of Lift Up. I was born and raised in the United States and my mother is Barbadian. I grew up learning bits and pieces about Barbados through food and cultural norms, but moving to the island in 2020 allowed me to be fully immersed into Bajan culture and it’s been an amazing journey! So that journey inspired me to start Lift Up and share my love for the people and culture of Barbados with visitors - through fun and interesting travel experiences that uncover hidden gems, unique customs, and fascinating histories that saturate this beautiful island 🌴☀️🇧🇧

Follow me for cool glimpses of island life and info on our tour offerings 😊
