Jamdown Foodie

Hey Foodie! Welcome to my blog. I am Yanikie (pronounceed Yan-neek) and I am so happy you are here! My journey with food started at an early age in my grandmother’s kitchen. In rural Jamaica, young girls like me found their place in the kitchen very quickly as we were groomed for marriage and raising children. I started as somewhat of a sous chef – washing and prepping vegetables, passing items, cleaning up and watching the pots so that they didn’t boil over or burn. When I eventually started cooking, I never let up. It’s safe to say that I love to cook more than anything else in the world.
