Fancy a delicious pizza? We love going to Key Largo, a friendly family-run place - that seems to be always buzzing but happy to find place for you if you haven’t quite managed to book! Oh and they also serve cocktails! 🏝️

We are lucky to be back in this beautiful country, where the reflections and views of the water are restoring our energies before the Christmas and New Year celebrations!

Our mango chutney is delicious and full of flavour.

Here is a quick version of the recipe:

Gather cloves, a head of garlic, a hand of ginger, star anise, cumin, coriander, a sprinkle of chilli powder and curry powder! Mix it into 1.25 kilos of chopped green mango. Add 935g of brown sugar. Let it sit at room temp for 24hrs.

Cook for an hour until the mixture thickens. Add half a litre of white vinegar and simmer for a half hour.

Decant into sterilised jars. Let it cool.

😋Enjoy!

We love a waterfall and this one at Sapphire Falls in Soufrière is beautiful!

Casim from Amazona Adventures is a great guide and waterfall expert. He organises the trip so that you learn about the history of the island.

Our guide at the falls was a botanist who showed us the plants and fungi in the area and brought us two different kinds of mud to rub into our skin before we entered the baths.

What a wonderful experience and one we’d highly recommend to our guests.

This Soursop fruit grows on a tree in our garden. It’s supposed to be very good for your stomach and to reduce inflammation. It doesn’t help cure cancer, but the leaves can be turned into a tea to help you sleep and the fruit tastes delicious as a smoothie and sorbet.

How do you eat yours?

The famous Pigeon Island!
44 acres of nature reserve and a famous landmark pictured here from Reduit Beach. Once isolated in the Caribbean Sea, it was connected to the mainland in 1972. Have you visited?
