In 1972, Prince learned the art of seasoning. Pinch & dash method. Since then he hasn’t stopped.

The very first time I smelled my grandmothers cooking, I thought I was in heaven.
My mother left Jamaica to seek better life for us in Canada. There were five of us, my sister and I lived with my uncle in Kingston 10, my two brothers and other sister lived with grandmother in Kingston 11. Later we joined them, that’s when I realized cooking is an art.

When grandmother was cooking, I stayed by her side from morning till night. There’s no measuring, no fancy labelling. She just pinch and dash and food tasted like a dream you never want to wake up from. Until one day I asked her if I could cook. At age of five, it didn’t come as surprise since many Jamaican men learn around that age to cook. My first dish I cooked was ackee and saltfish. Since that day, I’ve been using the pinch & dash method in everyday cooking at Kingston 11 reggae café.

Eat till yu belly buss.
