THE CARIBBEAN A colorful blend of turquoise waters, lush emerald green islands and European legacies, the islands of the Caribbean are known for their hot and spicy cuisine. A fusion of African, Native American, European, east Indian, Arab and Chinese influences, Caribbean recipes usually involve rice, plantains, cilantro, bell peppers, chickpeas, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and coconut. But just as every island has its own distinctive personality, it also has its own unique recipes.
