Known for amazing sailing attractions the history of the Leeward Islands is mired in the mystique of warring colonial powers and marauding pirates, who sailed between the islands to capture the fortunes on the seas. Many elements of this period have been woven into exciting modern dining and entertainment experiences throughout these islands.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Significant migration of people between the Leeward Islands during the last century is reflected in many similarities in the cuisine throughout the region. It reflects the customs of the Arawaks, as well as African, French, Dutch, British, Danish and Asian influences.\u00a0 With such an ethnic melting pot to draw on, the chefs from the Leeward Islands will feature game meats, seafood, vegetarian dishes and a range of homemade desserts.\u00a0 Salt cod is popular in all of these islands, as is goat meat.\u00a0 Legend has it that goat meat was a well sought after fresh delicacy by seafarers, upon their return from their ocean adventures.<\/p>

Food Connections that Go Beyond the Map<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe connection between the Leeward islands goes beyond just memorizing these islands based on their geographical position on a map.\u00a0 Our common culture connects our families and communities and that includes the food, which we enjoy as much as our music and love for the game of cricket.\u00a0 Our history has made us neighbors. economics has made us partners, but through our shared culture, the people of Leeward Islands remain strong allies,\u201d said Derede Whitlock, TASC Senior Administrator, who hails from the islands of Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of all of the Leeward Islands, St Kitts and Nevis has the richest soil for growing fresh produce and is known for its lush surroundings which is home to a large monkey population. Barbuda is known as the home of the largest Frigate Bird Sanctuary in the Western Hemisphere. But it is also one of the rare places in the Caribbean where you get to sample venison, prepared in a variety of dishes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although comparatively smaller in size than the surrounding islands, the Leeward Islands\u2019 history points to significant military strength and many historical elements have been integrated into local dining experiences.\u00a0 Some 300 years ago, Nelson\u2019s Dockyard in Antigua and Barbuda and Brimstone Hill in St. Kitts, were the center of military activity in the region.\u00a0 Relics of fortification have been restored on these former battlefields, which have also been designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Named in the New York Times as one of The 5 Best Christmas Events in the World, <\/em>Nelson’s Dockyard\u2019s annual Champagne Christmas Party, takes guests back in time, to celebrate the destination\u2019s British naval history.
