The
island of Jamaica brings us a variety of flavorful and unique ethnic blends,
which brings us to a better legacy of Jamaican cookery. The traditional
Jamaican cusine calls for a unique blend of seasonings, which is generally
very spicy thanks to the secret ingredients of Jamaican Scotch bonnet
pepper and the native pimento berry (allspice).
Centries ago in Jamaica, the original Arawak Indians
and the Maroons discovered a spicy method of cooking and preserving meat
called "jerk". In 1982 Allan Vernon introduced this exotic authentic
Jamaican Jerk cuisine to the United States. Allan Vernon captures the flavor of Jamaica in his sauces. Thick and hot, his blend of onions, garlic, peppers and other natural flavors produces one of the worlds greatest tastes...succulent and exotic!
See for yourself why everyone called it "the best jerk in America."
Over the years of marketing and many, many, taste
testing catering events, jerk cooking has been described with mouth-watering
reviews by some of the best food critics and commentaries of The New York
Times, Reader's Digest, Playboy, New York Magazine, Entrepreneur, The
New York Post, Christian Science Monitor, Upscale Marketing News, Caribe
News, and the Jamaica Gleaners. Molly O'Neil, in her New York Cookbook,
singled out five of Vernon's Jerk recipes and said "No one does jerk
like Vernon's.". These raves can be follow-up by Emeril and Martha
Stewart, whom Vernon had the opportunity to cook for. |
