The Cahuita’s Taste
The Cahuita’s taste had start as a small business, after the loss of a 15 year old son, who loved my food after his los i had transformed my pain into love through the soul food, the name of Cahuita’s Taste It's the combination of a recipe page (tasty oscar) that my son loved he constantly challenged me, telling me that I couldn't do some recipe from this page and that was his way of eating all the recipes he wanted, and the name of my community Cahuitas, the memory of my son remain alive and travel the world through my culinary art.
Cahuita's Taste has become over the years a company specialized in Afro-Caribbean cuisine, the roots and customs of an Afro-descendant
tribal community.
As an owner and chef, I had keep family and community recipes from many generations, which have not been written down but have been learned through the narrative
and culinary practice, with institutional support, I decided to grow this company by innovating
and incorporating other activities, such as a culinary tour, workshops, catering services and currently the restaurant in the center of the community.
We always ensure the quality of each product and maintaining the best standards, this is a family business, which has grown with the support of my children and my daughter-in-law and some people who have believed in
this dream.
