Baruru
Explore Caribbean history and culture through food
The Baruru Supper Club
Over time working in the food world, I realised there was a gap in the storytelling of Caribbean food which had a direct affect on how we interacted with ingredients and what we know about them. Researching recipes, I realised there was so much more to share about the culture and it was then that Baruru was born.
The Caribbean is a vast region with a complexed history and nuanced culture. With contributions from Amerindians, Africans, Europeans and Asians, the foods and ingredients used in everyday cooking tell a story that spans over centuries.
The ‘Baruru’ Supper Club celebrates the histories and food culture of the Caribbean through a series of dishes cooked by chef Keshia Sakarah. Join us for an evening of delicious cooking and beautiful story telling.
“Baruru is the indigenous word for plantain, named by the Kalinago people who originally inhabited the islands.”
