arts during time spent assisting his mother and Aunt Meriam Baker, who is a
professional chef, to prepare family
meals on Sundays & during the holidays. The Jamaican born chef recalls that
the first dish his mother taught him to prepare was rice and peas and her
signature barbeque chicken. From that experience he wanted to learn more and subsequently
he started experimenting.
