"Living in the Caribbean is pretty spectacular! I am always trying to come up with new recipes that combine my new culture with my roots. Although I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, southern US barbecue made a huge impression on me. My family and I spent a lot of time coming up with tasty sauces. Spice this Caribbean influened sauce up or down to suit your own tastes."
