The Pilgrim Hotel in Paddington, the evening brought together another inspiring mix of distinguished guests, key tourism partners, and media representatives for an exploration of Caribbean flavours through a refined and personal lens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chef Sakarah, known for her distinctive culinary voice and commitment to preserving Caribbean food heritage, presented a pan-Caribbean tasting menu inspired by her travels, culture, and ancestral influences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dinner also marked a special milestone in her career, following the release of her acclaimed debut cookbook, Caribe: A Caribbean Cookbook with History, a work praised for its rich storytelling and modern approach to traditional Caribbean gastronomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking about the initiative, Mr Colin C.
