"Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all." ~ Harriet Van Horne "If you really want to make a friend, go to someone's house and eat with him...the people who give you their food give you their heart." ~ Cesar Chavez In this celebration of life and good Bajan food, author Krystal P. Bowen honours the life of her mother, Sheralene Bowen, who succumbed to cervical cancer on March 17, 2022. Good food is cooked with the heart. This book pinpoints the life of a woman who cooked with passion and creativity – first as a way to survive, but eventually as an extension of herself. Her love was wrapped up in her culinary creations and, as you learn her story, learn some of the unique spins she put on traditional Bajan dishes. In the pages of “Food: My Mother’s Love Language”, you will make: Split Pea Cou-Cou - Sweet Potato Steamed Pudding and Fish Souse - Sorrel Cupcakes - And More! More than a cookbook, it also aims to bring awareness to cervical cancer and HPV prevention by introducing her social media group “Life after Loss”. Join a loving daughter as she commemorates her mom and her love of food!
