1) Because we LOVE our plantains, yams, yuccas ..etc and want to share our love with all of you. This is a declaration of love to food. Great food.
2) Because most tropical ingredients and most tropical dishes are unknown to the general public.
3) Because sharing this love will allow us to travel across the globe, tasting and enjoying new recipes, discovering what different cultures make of the same ingredient and the mysteries behind the variations.
4) Because it’s only fair that tropical ingredients and dishes get the recognition they deserve. Their diversity is unparalleled!
5) Because great food always brings people together!
“Our mission is to introduce tropical ingredients and tropical recipes to the World!”

Hey Linda (and fellow ladies),
Great blog! Just up my alley. Whenever I would go home (to NY!) from college my mother would make sure to have a stack of plantains in various stages of ripeness and I would eat plantain for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for days on end. Baked/grilled with or without groundnuts, boiled with various stews, fried like kelewele or alloco with or without the beans with or without the red palm oil, fried like tostones (which I learnt in the US), mashed up fried like tatale or krakro, mashed up baked like apiti or ofam . Back home (Ghana/Ivory Coast) my fufu was specially made with a higher constituency of plantain (ripe) than anybody else’s. If I had known I would have challenged you when we were back in Boston. Now you have me salivating. Keep up the great work.
Glad you like it! Please let us know what you think of the recipes you try!

Thank you! Merci!
Often times the problem for those living outside major metropolitan areas who want to cook “tropical” is the availability of the basic foodstuffs necessary. Luckily we live in a place where there are significant Brazilian and Jamaican immigrant/worker communities so not only do we have a large Brazilian market and a smaller Jamaican market, some of the supermarkets also carry plantains, manioc, taro and patates douces. However, there is a lack of Africa-specific food products.
Perhaps a store directory by city and available tropical-origin products by region (our family interest is West & Central Africa) could be a part of the website.
